Abstract

U uvodnom dijelu su spomenute tri vrste morskih kornjača; sedmopruga usminjača (Dermochelys coriacea V.), glavata želva (Caretta caretta L.) i golema želva (Chelonia mydas L.), koje možemo pronaći u Jadranskom moru. Tema ovog seminara je definirati glavne uzroke i razmjere njihovog utjecaja te dodatne probleme vezane uz ugroženost morskih kornjača na području Jadrana. Navedene su i neke od mjera zaštite morskih kornjača koje su poduzete kako bi se njihova ugroženost smanjila. To uključuje prevenciju dovođenja kornjača u opasnost (zakonodavne mjere) te liječenje ozlijeđenih životinja i njihova reintrodukcija u more. Uz sve navedeno, stupanj ugroženosti morskih kornjača u Jadranskom moru i dalje je vrlo visok, no pokazuju se znakovi napretka u njihovom očuvanju te, s vremenom, povećanje veličine njihove populacije.

Abstract (english)

In the introductory part, three types of marine turtles, which we can find in the Adriatic Sea, are mentioned; leatherback sea turtle (Dermochelys coriacea V.), loggerhead (Caretta caretta L.) and green turtle (Chelonia mydas L.). The topic of this paper is to define the main causes and extent of their impact as well as additional problems related to the endangerment of sea turtle in the Adriatic. There have also been listed some od the measures that have been taken for the protection of sea turtles to reduce their vulnerability. This includes the prevention of turtles facing danger (legislative measures) and the treatment of injured animals following their reintroduction into the sea. That being said, the level of endangerement of sea turtles in the Adriatic Sea is still very high, but there are signs of progress in their conservation and, in time, increase in the size of their population.
