2014 and Granadella fire last year
both took place in September,

Rescued turtle to be released
in Xàbia
On Tuesday 22 August, the
Oceanogràfic released a turtle
(Caretta caretta) on the coast of
Xàbia . This turtle, numbered 297,
arrived at the Oceanogràfic facility
in Valencia last January from
Cullera, where it was accidentally
caught by a trawler. This release
is part of the Xàbia Oceanogràfic
Project, which, is being developed
in the municipality with the aim of
spreading information about the
benefits of marine biodiversity.
Before the turtle’s release it was
given a name, chosen through
a competition organised among
the children of the ‘Children’s
Autonomous Championship of
Sailing by Teams’ of the Yacht
Club. From: Xabia al Dia
