It was the last nest of the season, and thanks to the work of the organization, these hatchlings were able to safely reach the ocean for another nesting season. We hope that they can return to Sal Island in the future and to meet them again  | RIU Hotels and Resorts | Facebook

Have you ever wondered where recovered sea turtles go after we release them? After almost nine months of care, Himalayan Salt was outfitted with a tracking tag and released off Cape Cod in September. Check out the loggerhead’s journey!📍 🐢 We use different forms of tagging to track a turtle’s migration to warmer waters. If turtles are large enough, they may receive a satellite tag. These sophisticated tags provide information on the turtle’s location, and some tag models also tell us about wate

Happy #SeaTurtleWeek! Did you know that by mapping the migration routes of tagged loggerhead sea turtles, we can see that they base their course on a specific chlorophyll and temperature gradient? In other words, they prefer a narrow band of more temperate ocean conditions—not too hot and not too cold.
