The hawksbill turtle, (Linnaeus, 1766), is an endangered sea turtle in Colombian Caribbean beach. In this study, we report the complete mitochondrial DNA sequences of hawksbill turtle. The entire genome comprised 16,386 base pairs, and a nucleotide frequency of T: 25.6%, C: 26.9%, A: G 35.4% and 12.1%. The mitogenome sequence of hawksbill turtle would contribute to better understand population genetics, and evolution of sea turtles. Molecule was deposited at the GenBank database under the accession number KP221806.

Article Synopsis
- - The global importance of recovery centers and head-start programs for sea turtles focuses on their roles in rescue and conservation, while also generating crucial health data for monitoring and research on these species.
- - This study evaluated non-invasive blood biomarkers and ecotoxicological impacts in both confined green sea turtles and free-living turtles from the Mexican Caribbean, highlighting significant health differences influenced by captivity.
- - Findings revealed concerning health indicators in confined green turtles, such as abnormal blood cells and elevated toxin levels, compared to wild counterparts, emphasizing the need for improved health monitoring and conservation policies.

The accelerometer, an onboard sensor, enables remote monitoring of animal posture and movement, allowing researchers to deduce behaviors. Despite the automated analysis capabilities provided by deep learning, data scarcity remains a challenge in ecology. We explored transfer learning to classify behaviors from acceleration data of critically endangered hawksbill sea turtles (Eretmochelys imbricata).

The increasing occurrence of mismanaged plastic litter along India's coastline and the ominous challenges it poses to biodiversity and ecosystem health is a growing environmental concern. To address this issue, we comprehensively investigated the abundance, composition, and probable sources of marine litter on North Cinque Island, a remote uninhabited island in the Andaman and Nicobar archipelago, Bay of Bengal. This island is a designated wildlife sanctuary and serves as an important nesting site for Green, Hawksbill and Leatherback turtles.

Marine plastics and other debris constitute a major threat to many marine species. Over 12 million tons of plastics are estimated to reach the oceans annually, causing adverse effects on hundreds of marine species. The Arabian Gulf is a small, sub-tropical and semi-enclosed gulf with extreme environmental conditions with high potential to accumulate marine debris.

Introduction: Marine environments offer a wealth of opportunities to improve understanding and treatment options for cancers, through insights into a range of fields from drug discovery to mechanistic insights. By applying One Health principles the knowledge obtained can benefit both human and animal populations, including marine species suffering from cancer. One such species is green sea turtles (), which are under threat from fibropapillomatosis (FP), an epizootic tumor disease (animal epidemic) that continues to spread and increase in prevalence globally.
