Swimming behavior and speed of green turtle (Chelonia mydas) and hawksbill turtle
(Eretmochelys imbricata) hatchlings swimming offshore were compared between individuals
that were free swimming and the same individuals towing a float. Towing a float did not
influence swimming behavior in either species, but decreased swimming speed by 20% in
green turtles and 50% in hawksbill turtles.
