Tracking

Selected former patients of the National Marine Life Center will be equipped with satellite tags so that we can follow their progress in the wild.  Learning how these threatened and endangered marine animals use the ocean habitat and discovering the post-release behavior of bellwether species provide critical information about them and about the health of the ocean itself.

Kemp’s Ridley “Lavender” Release with Satellite Tag

Sea turtles with satellite tags are tracked through the National Marine Life Center page on SeaTurtle.Org.  Those tracks will be mirrored on this web site and can be accessed through this page by clicking on the image below.  If it’s the first time that you have visited the SeaTurtle.Org site, the server may ask you to accept the conditions of use for the tracking data.  Once you accept those conditions, you will be taken to the appropriate place on the web site.
