Description
Original provider: Marine Turtle Research Group Dataset credits: Data provider Marine Turtle Research Group Originating data center Satellite Tracking and Analysis Tool (STAT) Project partner This project is a collaboration among the Marine Turtle Research Group (Brendan Godley, Annette Broderick, Lucy Hawkes), Michael Coyne (SEATURTLE.ORG & Duke University), the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (Matthew Godfrey) and the Bald Head Island Conservancy. Project sponsor or sponsor description This project was funded by grants from the WAVE Foundation at the Newport Aquarium, Kentucky, and the Natural Environmental Research Council as well as donations from the Bald Head Island Conservancy and SEATURTLE.ORG. Abstract: This project aims to find out more about the post nesting migratory movements of loggerhead sea turtles from Bald Head Island, North Carolina. Four nesting females were tracked each in 2003 through 2005 and made impressive movements north, using waters as far away as New Jersey. All four of the transmitters from 2005 are still transmitting. The transmitters provided us with some interesting, novel and useful data about the migratory and foraging behaviour and natural history of the loggerhead sea turtle in this region. This summer's deployments will complement the results from previous years and provide us with a wider insight into North Carolina sea turtle biology. Supplemental information: Visit STAT's project page for additional information. This dataset is a summarized representation of the telemetry locations aggregated per species per 1-degree cell.
Data Records
