The loggerhead turtle (Caretta caretta Linnaeus, 1758) is distributed in temperate and tropical oceans and seas worldwide (Wallace et al., 2010). Most of the loggerheads that appear on the European Atlantic coast are juveniles originating from nesting areas in the western Atlantic (Bolten et al., 1998). These specimens have either deviated from their usual developmental migration within the north Atlantic Gyre system (Witt et al., 2007), or have originated from Cape Verde having been displaced by storms (Monzón-Argüello et al., 2012). Since 1990, in Galicia (NW Spain) an average of 9.7 individuals are recorded yearly by the stranding network: they are juveniles that are found stranded at the coast or accidentally captured in fishing gear, both alive and dead (López et al., 2014).
