BARRIENTOS-MUNOZ, Karla G. et al. First report of a female hawksbill turtle, Eretmochelys imbricata, in the Conservation Mosaic Bahía Málaga, Colombian Pacific. Bol. Invest. Mar. Cost. [online]. 2020, vol.49, suppl.1, pp.289-294. Epub 06-Sep-2021. ISSN 0122-9761. https://doi.org/10.25268/bimc.invemar.2020.49.suplesp.1073.
The Eastern Pacific hawksbill turtle is one of the most threatened management units in the world. In the Colombian Pacific it has been detected in feeding areas and in juvenile and / or sub adult’s stages. Its nesting areas and season are unknown to the country. On February 24th, 2020, the first female hawksbill turtle for the Colombian Pacific was reported, in the Conservation Mosaic of Bahía Málaga. The minimum curved carapace length was 90 cm, the curved carapace length nuchal-tip was 90.5 cm, the curved carapace width was 73.6 cm and its weight was 69 kg. The presence of a female and being the main feeding and residence area for juvenile and sub adult of the species in the Pacific of Colombia makes it essential to continue systematic monitoring in-water and identify and monitor potential nesting sites to contribute to the conservation of the hawksbill turtle at Eastern Pacific.
