Declarations
:
: Research permits and logistic support were provided by the Parc National du Banc d’Arguin (PNBA) in Mauritania and by the Instituto da Biodiversidade e das Áreas Protegidas, Dr. Alfredo Simão da Silva (IBAP) in Guinea-Bissau. The protocols were approved by the ethical committee of the Órgão Responsável pelo Bem-Estar Animal of Ispa - Instituto Universitário, Lisbon, Portugal (ORBEA-Ispa), which ensures the compliance of ethical standards and animal welfare rules. Field protocols were carefully performed by trained personnel following recommended guidelines to minimize disturbance to turtles (National Marine Fisheries Service Southeast Fisheries Center 2008) and handling time was reduced to the strictly necessary.
