Cuban Sea Turtle Tracking

Cuban Green Turtle Tracking


In 2016, the Sea Turtle Conservancy, Cubamar, and ProTortugas Peninsula de Guanacabibes began a sea turtle satellite tracking research project to study the migration patterns of green sea turtles (Chelonia mydas) nesting in Guanahacabibes Natural Park, Cuba. 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.
