This page presents information on the studies conducted
since 2006 on marine turtle nesting beaches in the Dominican Republic,
particularly in Jaragua National Park and del Este National Park. These
studies have been made possible by: two projects from the Interuniversitary
Cooperation Program (PCI) of the Spanish Agency for International Cooperation,
between University of Valencia (Spain),
the Autonomous University of Santo

(Dominican Republic)
and Grupo Jaragua, a project from the Spanish Ministry of Education and Science given to
the University of Valencia, coordinated by the
Marine
Zoology Unit of Cavanilles Institute and more recently by the
Fundacio General de la Universitat de Valencia (Spain) through the project:
"Conservation of marine turtles in the Dominican Republic and sustainable
development of local communities."
