Satellite Tags Placed on Endangered Sea Turtles in Greece

The Archelon group, the Sea Turtle Protection Society of Greece, has recently launched an innovative way to protect the endangered sea turtles in Greece by using satellite tags.

On the 1st of June this year, satellite tags were placed on 12 loggerhead turtles in order to track their movements at sea during and after each nesting effort is completed for the season.

The data provided by the satellite tags is also expected to provide insight about their migration towards foraging and overwintering habitats.
