Join us in saying "best fishes" to seven juvenile green sea turtles that were released on May 6, 2021, from Ormond Beach.

Turtle tracks: Where in the world are Mote’s tagged sea turtles?

October 05, 2020 | Stephannie Kettle

Male sea turtles are notoriously difficult to study: Once a male hatchling leaves the nest, there is no reason for him to return to the shore. Therefore, one of the few chances to study males up-close is when they need to be rescued due to sickness or injury (called a stranding). Mote researchers take...
