Abstract:
Since 1997, the Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Rescue and Rehabilitation Center, located on Topsail Island in North Carolina, has worked towards caring for sick or injured sea turtles in order that they should be released back to the wild. Each year, the KBSTRRC admits dozens of turtles that have been found in North Carolina and elsewhere. Working in collaboration with the wildlife veterinarians from North Carolina State University and others, the staff of the KBSTRRC have successfully rehabilitated and released more than 100 sea turtles over the past 7 years. <br><br>The majority of turtles that have been released have been juveniles, and up until now there was no information available on where and how the turtles were going in the water. Now, with the help of satellite tracking, we can watch where some of the rehabilitated turtles go after their treatment at the KBSTRRC.

摘要：自1997年起，位于北卡罗来纳州托普西尔岛（Topsail Island）的凯伦·比斯利海龟救助与康复中心（Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Rescue and Rehabilitation Center, KBSTRRC）一直致力于救治患病或受伤的海龟，以期将其放归野生环境。每年，该中心都会接收数十只在北卡罗来纳州及其他地区被发现的海龟。通过与北卡罗来纳州立大学的野生动物兽医及其他机构合作，该中心的工作人员在过去7年间已成功康复并放归了超过100只海龟。

大部分被放归的海龟均为幼年个体，而在此之前，尚无关于这些海龟在海洋中的活动轨迹与去向的相关信息。如今，借助卫星追踪技术，我们得以监测这些在该中心接受治疗后的康复海龟的活动去向。
