Description

Original provider: North Carolina Renewable Ocean Energy Program Dataset credits: Data provider North Carolina Renewable Ocean Energy Program Originating data center Satellite Tracking and Analysis Tool (STAT) Project partner This project is the result of collaboration between the Protected Resources Branch of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Beaufort Laboratory, the UNC Coastal Studies Institute, the North Carolina Aquariums at Pine Knoll Shores and Roanoke Island, and University of Central Florida.
Project sponsor or sponsor description The tagging and tracking of sea turtles in the Gulf Stream off the North Carolina coast is funded by the North Carolina Renewable Ocean Energy Program. Abstract: Researchers from NOAA, National Marine Fisheries Service and the UNC Coastal Studies Institute are investigating the use of Gulf Stream waters by sea turtles. We tagged five loggerhead sea turtles that were collected from North Carolina nests and raised in captivity, at the Pine Knoll Shores Aquarium. The turtles were tagged with solar-powered satellite transmitters (Microwave Telemetry) at the Roanoke Island Aquarium under the guidance of Dr. Kate Mansfield, who did a study upon which ours was based (Mansfield et al. 2014). The tagged turtles were released in Sargassum mats in the Gulf Stream off the coast of North Carolina. 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.
