Nota
An extensive
compilation of the available literature regarding marine Turtles on the spanish coasts
have been completed, giving at the same time further unpublished observations. The 99
references obtained are shared between Dermochelys coriacea, Caretta caretta, Chelonia
mydas and Eretrnochelys imbricata, this last record being especially meaningful because it is
the first one in the littoral of the Iberian Peninsula. The lack of direct observations and literature
references concerning Lepidochelys kempii wich could prove in a unquestionable way
their presence on the peninsular coast, is remarked. Finaüy, the author discusses the present
status of the marine Turtles on the spanish coast.
Key words: Marine Turtles, Distribution, Spain.
