Have you ever wondered where recovered sea turtles go after we release them? After almost nine months of care, Himalayan Salt was outfitted with a tracking tag and released off Cape Cod in September. Check out the loggerhead’s journey!📍 🐢 We use different forms of tagging to track a turtle’s migration to warmer waters. If turtles are large enough, they may receive a satellite tag. These sophisticated tags provide information on the turtle’s location, and some tag models also tell us about wate

Happy #SeaTurtleWeek! Did you know that by mapping the migration routes of tagged loggerhead sea turtles, we can see that they base their course on a specific chlorophyll and temperature gradient? In other words, they prefer a narrow band of more temperate ocean conditions—not too hot and not too cold.
