The turtles of the Aquarium de Biarritz
At the Aquarium de Biarritz, watch Alice, the loggerhead turtle, and the 3 green turtles peacefully evolve in their environment.





A key role in the marine ecosystem
Marine turtles play an essential role in the balance of the oceans. For example, the green turtle helps regulate seagrass beds, preventing their excessive growth. The loggerhead turtle, for its part, controls jellyfish populations. They are indispensable to the proper functioning of the marine world.
