The diagram illustrates the life cycle of sea turtles.
Looking at the illustration, it is immediately evident that the development of sea turtles is a naturally intricate process that lasts between thirty and fifty years. Additionally, there are a total of six main phases involved in that cycle, beginning with hatching eggs and culminating in nesting of pregnant female turtles.
First, the life cycle of sea turtles commences with escaping from the eggs’ crust after enduring eight to ten weeks incubation, and then they move to an open surface for foraging; this period takes them between five and twenty years to evolves into a bigger size. Over a span of twenty years, from thirty to fifty years, sea turtles embark on a developmental migration to coastal shallow water foraging areas, which comprise both immature and adult turtles.
Upon arriving this area, adults migrate to mating areas, which are shallow waters. After mating, adult male turtles return to foraging area. Meanwhile, adult female turtles look for a nesting area, and there they lay their eggs. During this phase, adult females still travel between two areas, the foraging area and the nesting place, at two-week intervals.
