Summary
This project uses acoustic transmitters and an existing acoustic receiver network to track hawksbill (Eretmochelys imbricata), green (Chelonia mydas), and loggerhead (Caretta caretta) sea turtles. The data collected will identify key feeding, internesting, and breeding areas, supporting conservation efforts and guiding protection strategies for these endangered species, ultimately aiding in the preservation of marine biodiversity in the Cayman Islands.
