Satellite telemetry data used to characterize daily, seasonal, and long-distance movements of immature green turtles (Chelonia mydas) in Bermuda
We deployed satellite transmitters on 16 juvenile green turtles (Chelonia mydas) captured from 2011–2018 within benthic developmental habitats on the Bermuda Platform in order to characterize their movements and habitat use. Transmitters were Wildlife Computers SPLASH10-F tags capable of providing A...
