This Technical Memorandum describes the first comprehensive study to quantify the
increased drag induced by attachment of biotelemetry devices to sea turtles. Drag (ie, fluid …

Satellite telemetry is an increasingly popular technique for the study of migratory behavior in
sea turtles. Transmitters have become more affordable, and application methods are readily …

Animal‐borne instruments provide researchers with valuable data to address important
questions on wildlife ecology and conservation. However, these devices have known …

The satellite transmitter fixed on a harness was, until a short time ago, the commonly used
attachment technique to follow oceanic movements of the soft-shelled leatherback turtle …

Increases in the spatial scale and intensity of activities that produce marine anthropogenic
sound highlight the importance of understanding the impacts and effects of sound on …

While widely applied in fisheries science, acoustic telemetry remains an underutilized
method in the field of marine turtle biotelemetry. However, with the ability to provide fine …

Sea turtles inhabiting coastal environments routinely encounter anthropogenic hazards,
including fisheries, vessel traffic, pollution, dredging, and drilling. To support mitigation of …

Over recent years there have been substantial efforts to record and interpret the post-nesting
movements of leatherback turtles (Dermochelys coriacea) breeding in tropical regions. Less …

Background For imperiled marine turtles, use of satellite telemetry has proven to be an
effective method in determining long distance movements. However, the large size of the …

OBJECTIVES objectives of this project are to monitor: Migratory pathways during the inter-
nesting period, diving behavior, offshore reef utilization, inshore spatial use (identification of …
