As a result, there is a certain concentration of offspring and breeding individuals in the waters, in addition to the juveniles already historically present in the area. On the other hand, fishing activity in these areas is intense and is a source of sea turtle bycatch, although its role in the context of nesting has never been evaluated.  <\/p>\n<p>The PESCAretta project aims to study the dynamics of the emerging turtle population in relation to fishing activity. It will also evaluate different measures to mitigate the potential impact of fishing on the new population, including the use of turtle excluder devices (TEDs) or the redistribution of fishing effort, and will promote awareness-raising actions to seek to make turtle nesting compatible with fishing activity. <\/p>\n<p><strong>INTEMARES complementary project.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The following collaborating entities act: Fundaci\u00f3 Oceanogr\u00e1fic, Associaci\u00f3 Catalana de Dones de la Mar, Direcci\u00f3 General de Politiques Ambientals i Medi Natural-Parc Natural del Delta de l&#8217;Ebre, Confraria de Pescadors de l&#8217;Ampolla, Confraria de Pescadors Port de Llan\u00e7\u00e0, Confraria de Pescadors Port de la Selva and Direcci\u00f3 General de Politiques Ambientals i Medi Natural.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":22405,"parent":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"financiaci_n":[680],"lineas_actuacion_tematicas":[655],"class_list":["post-97875404","programa_pleamar","type-programa_pleamar","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","financiaci_n-european-maritime-fisheries-and-aquaculture-fund","lineas_actuacion_tematicas-marine-ecosystems"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>PESCAretta.
