Since then much has changed, the old "Tartarugueiros" - turtle fishermen - are currently sentinel animals and almost all are employees of the Tamar. Recognized worldwide and holds dozens of awards including the "Nobel" of environmentalism, Tamar has nearly three decades of existence and foremost is an example of unity and harmony among the academic community, environmentalists and local people. This equation - success - is the awareness, education and exchange of experiences, their broad fronts of influence.

Spawning Areas
The main spawning grounds of marine turtles on our coast are: Regency - Trains in the Holy Spirit, Pirambu - Santa Isabel in Sergipe, and Praia do Forte, north coast of Bahia. Three recognized and highly visited destinations in the current tourist scene.Not to mention Fernando de Noronha Abrolhos, Trinidad and Rocas. In all the places mentioned, with a little luck and some provision is possible to follow the birth of the puppies and spawns that happen overnight.

The turtles lay their eggs between the months of September and March, with higher incidence in December and January. A curiosity is that I always return to spawn in exactly the same beach they were born. Here in Brazil we can see five of the eight species that exist in the world: loggerhead, green, hawksbill, leatherback (giant) and olive oil.
