Background

Nabigha is a young loggerhead turtle captured by hand while it was foraging nearby the Tyre Coast Nature Reserve (TCNR) in South Lebanon. The animal measured 60 cm of CCL and was in a very good shape. It was released from a boat on the same day of capture and in the same spot where it was found.
