Onda

Onda (Spanish for wave) is an adult green sea turtle released with a satellite transmitter from Guanahacabibes Natural Park, Cuba on July 3, 2017. She measured 96.0 cm in curved carapace (shell) length and 80.0 cm in curved carapace width. During the satellite attachment process, it was discovered that Onda had a large fishing hook in her front right flipper. With the assistance of staff from The Turtle Hospital in Marathon, Florida Keys, STC staff were able to safely remove the hook. Onda is taking part in the 2017 Tour de Turtles and was named by her sponsor, the Sea Life Trust.

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.
