Description
NOAA scientists are working to understand the migratory behavior and dispersal patterns of loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta) in the South Atlantic Ocean. Neonate loggerhead turtles were tagged near Bahia, Brazil. The purpose was to identify loggerhead turtles' vulnerability to fishing activity based upon seasonality and ocean currents.
