Satellite Telemetry - Tracking NOW

Currently (DEC 2018) there are 3 sea turtles migrating through Belize waters you can track daily!  One turtle forages off the coast of Honduras/Nicaragua and two in Belize.   Tracking sea turtles would make a great school project, and seaturtle.org has a webpage specifically for teachers so they can introduce sea turtle migration into the classroom.  Special thanks to SEATURTLE.ORG for making it possible to easily track sea turtles!

2017 - Sea Grape Hope for GPWS - July 13, 2017 - still tracking!

​Sea Grape Hope for GPWS, a nesting hawksbill found at Gales Point, Belize was tagged on July 13, 2017 in Marymount University's & Hawksbill Hope's satellite tagging program.

Sea Grape is the first turtle tagged from Gales Point that briefly foraged around the Colson Point area before migrating to the shallow coastal water off Honduras, where she has been foraging for more than a year.

She is in a dangerous zone and very close to Nicaragua, where fishermen are still permitted to harvest sea turtles.

Safe travels Sea Grape, be well!
