Cabo Verde is home to one of the largest populations of sea turtles in the world and is an important site of the Northeast Atlantic Regional Management Unit (NEA RMU). Caretta caretta is the most frequent species in this area. The data of breeding ecology (67,594 records) collected in the context of monitoring the beaches of Maio Island, between 2012 and 2019 were analyzed. The results demonstrate that the nesting females on this island are smaller, with an average curved carapace length of 79.4±4.0 cm, laying an average of 4.6 nests per season, with 80.4±14.0 eggs per clutch at an average depth of 46.6 cm. The interval of days between each posture is 15 days and the remigration interval is 404±5 days, followed by a value of 700±5 days. Thu...
