N2  - The Cape Verde Islands rank among the world’s most important breeding localities for the loggerhead sea turtle Caretta caretta, while hawksbill Eretmochelys imbricata, green Chelonia mydas, olive ridley Lepidochelys olivacea and leatherback Dermochelys coriacea turtles are also known to occur in Cape Verde seas (Marco et al. 2011). Olive ridley and leatherback turtles are solely known as migrants, but hawksbill and green turtles regularly use these waters as feeding grounds (Marco et al. 2011, Varo Cruz et al. 2011). Here, we document a rare nesting event of green turtle on the island of Sal, one of the windward (barlavento) islands, situated in the north-east of the archipelago.
