    About This Project

    This pioneer project marks the first time in Morocco's history for satellite transmitters deployed on sea turtles. We ask what habitats turtles use and how their movements interact with bycatch threats in the region, and answer by tracking juveniles using Fastloc GPS satellite transmitters that give highly accurate positions of movement patterns and home ranges of one of the most iconic species in Moroccan waters. We expect to find small home ranges that overlap with intense fishing.
