Caribbean Leatherback Tracking

Caribbean Leatherback Tracking

In 2003, Sea Turtle Conservancy (STC) began satellite tagging sea turtles to study their migration of Caribbean coast leatherbacks to their feeding grounds. Through STC’s Sea Turtle Migration-Tracking Education Program, the public is invited to watch along as we learn more about these amazing animals.

In 2003, Sea Turtle Conservancy began to study the migration patterns of critically endangered leatherback sea turtles (Dermochelys coriacea) nesting along the Caribbean coasts of Costa Rica and Panama. The study will reveal important information about the turtle’s migratory behavior, which will help both conservationists and natural resource managers to improve protection efforts for this endangered species.
