Abstract: ABSTRACT. Sea turtle hatchlings, in natural abiotic conditions, emerge from their nests at night and go directly to the sea, following the moonlight's reflection in the ocean. Increased human activities such as tourism and artificial lights on the coasts, however, have interfered with the ability of sea turtle neonates to find their correct destination, negatively affecting their survival rates. Here we endeavored to assess the influence of artificial lights on the hatchlings of the sea turtle Eretmochelys imb… Show more

“…The main aim of most of these studies was to highlight the relevance of the use of urban street and advertising lights (Ngarambe and Kim, 2018), strong urbanisation process (Butt, 2012; Pun and So, 2012; Zhang and Hu, 2017) and civil conflicts (Li et al, 2018). In South America, studies conducted in Chile, Brazil, Mexico, Costa Rica and Argentina were not located in the main cities or their capital, but in natural areas considering issues related to animals (González et al, 2014; Simões et al, 2017), astronomical observations/tourism (Krisciunas et al, 2010; Plauchu-Frayn et al, 2017) and human health (Alaimo et al, 2019; Harb et al, 2015).…”

“…De acordo com Marcovaldi et al (2011), no Nordeste brasileiro, E. imbricata apresenta como área prioritária de nidificação o litoral norte do estado da Bahia e Sergipe e litoral sul do Rio Grande do Norte. Além disso, o estado de Pernambuco, principalmente o litoral Sul, constitui uma área significativa de nidificação dessa espécie (MOURA et al, 2012;SIMÕES et al, 2014), todavia há apenas um registro que relata os impactos sobre os filhotes quanto à presença de iluminação na área (SIMÕES et al, 2017). Os trabalhos de conservação desses animais no estado se concentram nas praias do município do Ipojuca, onde um total de 12 km de faixa litorânea é monitorado pela Organização Não Governamental Ecoassociados (SIMÕES et al, 2014).…”
