Abstract:
Satellites tracking of marine turtles was done to identify the main feeding sites of marine turtle nesting in Kenya and assess the interaction between marine turtle and industrial fisheries during their migration. Three nesting sea turtles were tracked from a beach in the North coast of Kenya (-3.83°S, 39.82°E). One of the turtle moved North to a known foraging creek (Takaungu), while another moved to a foraging ground on the South (Gazi). The third turtle just foraged on the near shore reef within where it was tagged.

Purpose:
The purpose of the tracking was identify the main feeding sites of marine turtle nesting in Kenya and assess the interaction between marine turtle and industrial fisheries during their migration.

摘要：
为确定肯尼亚沿海海龟的主要觅食区域并评估海龟在迁徙期间与工业渔业之间的相互作用，进行了海洋海龟的卫星追踪。从肯尼亚北海岸（-3.83°S, 39.82°E）的沙滩上追踪了三只筑巢海龟。其中一只海龟向北迁徙至已知的觅食溪流（塔卡乌努），另一只则迁至南方的觅食地（加齐）。第三只海龟在其被标记的近岸珊瑚礁区域内觅食。

目的：
追踪的主要目的是确定肯尼亚沿海海龟的主要觅食区域，并评估海龟在迁徙期间与工业渔业之间的相互作用。
