Green turtle satellite tracks from Gorgona National Natural Park, Colombia

This dataset contains Argos satellite telemetry for 10 juvenile green
turtles (Chelonia mydas) tracked from Gorgona National Natural Park
(GNNP), Colombian Pacific (2009–2012). Data were used in an associated
manuscript to show evidence that nine individuals exhibited residency
behavior. One turtle left the study area, migrating south. Findings assist
in assessing the efficacy of GNNP in protecting sensitive resident species
and, moreover, come at a pivotal time, when plans for constructing a
military complex within GNNP are underway. Our study highlights that GNNP
protects critical habitats for imperiled species and underscores the need
for thoughtful consideration of future developments near sensitive PAs.

本数据集收录了2009年至2012年间，在哥伦比亚太平洋海域的戈尔戈纳国家自然公园（Gorgona National Natural Park, GNNP）中追踪获取的10只幼绿海龟（Chelonia mydas）的Argos卫星遥测（Argos satellite telemetry）数据。该数据集曾应用于一篇相关研究论文，用以证实其中9只个体表现出定居行为；另有1只海龟离开研究区域并向南洄游。本研究结果有助于评估戈尔戈纳国家自然公园对敏感定居物种的保护效能，且该项研究正值关键时期——目前该公园范围内正推进军事设施的建设计划。本研究明确了戈尔戈纳国家自然公园能够为濒危物种提供关键栖息地，同时强调需审慎考量敏感保护区（protected areas, PAs）周边的未来开发活动。
