Interview with Stephanie J. Rousso about using Citizen Science in her research on spatial distribution of sea turtles within fishing zones in the Southern Gulf of California.
In late October, a collaborative team of researchers from Two Oceans Aquarium Foundation and Upwell took a boat into the swift Agulhas Current, the southwest boundary current of the Indian Ocean that runs down the east coast of South Africa. There, they released 12 tiny loggerhead turtles with satellite tags attached to their carapace (top shells) in an effort to understand how these turtles are using this oceanic highway. See where these turtles have traveled over their first weeks in the ocean!
Upwell Turtles, the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, and the Sea Turtle Ecology Lab (STEL) have launched a partnership to explore the migratory ecology of the early life stages of loggerhead sea turtles.
