Centro de Recuperacion y Conservacion de Tortugas Marinas de Morro Jable, Morro del Jable

In the port of Morro Jable is located this center, whose visit is free and within which work is being carried out on an important project of how to reintroduce the Toruga Caretta Caretta on the beaches of the archipelago. It is easy to find and inside we have a series of information posters about turtles and the work that is being carried out. If you plan to find a kind of zoo, with dozens of turtles for children's amusement, forget about it, you will find a large tank inside which there are two turtles caretta caretta or loggerhead turtle. Children will learn many things, such as that turtles are philopatric, they will learn how to distinguish the trail of a turtle on the beach and what to do if they encounter one, they will learn what are the main threats of them and many more things. In the center there are other non-visitable tanks, where there are other turtles that have been rescued or that are sick... It looks fast, most people don't read the posters and you see more than one leaving the facility disappointed not to see these animals as if they were in a zoo.
