  Abstract Hawksbill turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata), among other marine turtle species that was only in 1970 for the first time in 1996 as a species at risk and endangered species in the Red List of IUCN. The distribution of this species in south and north coasts of the More

  Abstract Hawksbill turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata), among other marine turtle species that was only in 1970 for the first time in 1996 as a species at risk and endangered species in the Red List of IUCN. The distribution of this species in south and north coasts of the Persian Gulf, Sistan and blaouchestan coasts (Makoran Sea) that is the largest number in the region in the northern parts of thePersian Gulf. This species has been seen on the islands of Hormuz, Shidvar Island, Qeshm, Omolkaram, Nakhilo, Bani Faroor, Lavan, Kish, Tahmadoon, Lark and Hengam. In the southern shores of the Persian Gulf most important egg-laying areas have been reported in coast of the UAE's, Kourian islands, Hargus, Gemma, Karan and in the Oman sea in Ras al-Hadd. The main factors threatening these species are: fishing, coastal and marine pollution, habitat destruction, collect turtle eggs and pressure hunter. In this study noted out some biological aspects of this valuable species. Manuscript profile

  In this project it was focused on a method which used sound channel to receive underwater seismo signals. After the discovery of sound channel existence in Arabian Sea and Makran Sea, all the sea water physical parameters data and the possibility of their variations caused by wind, surface currents, internal currents, sedimentations, etc. were analyzed, following which, the seismo acoustics transmission in sound channel was studied. Furthermore time travel of a sound signal was calculated and compared with a tsunami wave time travel. Research method was based on the study of sound channel formation with regards to sea water physical parameters variations, change in mixed layer formation and evaluation of SOFAR cline with changes in mixed layer cline. Results showed that we can use underwater sound channels to trace underwater seismo acoustics in these regions. Travel time of this sound was one seventh of a tsunami wave travel time.
