Migration Map

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.

**SCAM ALERT!** If you have been offered a STC tracked turtle by purchasing something from Bela Wonder, MyTurtleProject, Mahola, Tidalia, Earth Lives, Ocean Lives, Ocean Project.co (not to be confused with ‘The Ocean Project’), Blue Ocean, Turtle’s Journey, Wildlife Team, Wildlife Mission, Wildlife Charm, or Ocean Better, they have used Sea Turtle Conservancy’s turtle tracking information without our permission. The one exception is ‘Fahlo (previously called Wildlife Collections),’ which has an exclusive partnership with STC involving our tracked turtles.
