Marcia

Marcia, a 50-pound juvenile green sea turtle was found floating off Vaca Key in March, where she was rescued and taken to The Turtle Hospital for rehabilitation. Marcia was treated for positive buoyancy disorder and is back in good health, swimming strong and diving! Her treatment at the Turtle Hospital included broad spectrum antibiotics, fluids, vitamins and a healthy diet of greens and mixed seafood. Marcia is 59.7 cm in straight carapace length and was released with a satellite transmitter on July 14 in The Florida Keys, and is taking part in the 2023 Tour de Turtles. Her transmitter is sponsored by The Turtle Hospital.

On average, transmitters will send signals for around 1 year from the time the turtle is released. Sometimes it can be 2 years, and sometimes it can be less than a year. The turtle icon location point represents the most recent location received for this turtle. It is not uncommon for a transmitter to skip a day or two due to the turtle’s behavior or biofouling on the transmitter or antenna. This map is automatically updated with new points as soon as they are received by the Sea Turtle Conservancy. If the most recent point is more than two months old, then the transmitter is most likely no longer working.
