To accomplish these objectives, our strategy included collaborating with cooperative fishermen in the NED to capture and satellite tag small (30 cm length) loggerhead sea turtles. Using novel satellite telemetry techniques, we were to identify the fine-scale habitat selection, movements, and dispersal of small oceanic loggerheads in the NED. Juvenile oceanic developmental and foraging habitats are not defined for any federally protected sea turtle species. This project is determining locations of management concern including small and large scale areas where numerous young turtles are likely to be exposed to harmful anthropogenic interactions in the Northeast Distant Region of the Atlantic Ocean (NED). Scientific information from this project is bridging the gaps in our understanding of early sea turtle life history in order to provide improved estimation of threats at foraging areas and along migration routes for oceanic stage sea turtles in the NED. We are using novel satellite tracking methods to accomplish project goals. This project has provided the first satellite track(s) of wild-caught oceanic stage loggerhead sea turtles. underDevelopment Sasso, Chris 305-361-4279 305-361-4478 75 Va Beach DR Miami FL 33149 chris.sasso@noaa.gov Contact by email preferred. pointOfContact Sasso, Chris 305-361-4279 305-361-4478 75 Va Beach DR Miami FL 33149 chris.sasso@noaa.gov Contact by email preferred. custodian DOC/NOAA/NMFS/SEFSC > Southeast Fisheries Science Center, National Marine Fisheries Service, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce dataCentre Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Data Center Keywords 2017-04-24 publication 8.5 Earth Science Data and Information System, Earth Science Projects Division, Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) https://forum.earthdata.nasa.gov/app.php/tag/GCMD%2BKeywords GCMD Keyword Forum Page Global Change Master Directory (GCMD). 2025.
