Dr. Jaume Folch, reseacher of the Ecotoxicology area of TecnATox, is going to participate to the round table on the current situation of the loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta) population on the Catalan coast and in particular in Tarragona. It will take place on July 6 at 6 PM, and the state of this turtle will be discussed, including the latest observations and laying of eggs, the trend that is expected in the coming years and the key role that volunteering has in the protection of this species.
