Abstract:
This project aims to find out more about the post nesting migratory movements of loggerhead sea turtles from Bald Head Island, North Carolina. Four nesting females were tracked each in 2003 and 2004 and made impressive movements north, using waters as far away as New Jersey. Two of the transmitters from 2004 are still transmitting. The transmitters provided us with some interesting, novel and useful information about the migratory and foraging behaviour and natural history of the loggerhead sea turtle in this region. This summer's deployments will complement the results from previous years and provide us with a wider insight into North Carolina sea turtle biology.
This dataset is a summarized representation of the telemetry locations aggregated per species per 1-degree cell.

摘要：
本项目旨在深入了解北卡罗来纳州秃头岛红海龟（loggerhead sea turtle）筑巢后的洄游动向。2003年与2004年各对4只筑巢雌性红海龟进行追踪，它们的洄游范围北至新泽西州附近海域，移动轨迹极具研究价值。2004年部署的2台发射器至今仍在正常传输数据。本次追踪获取了该区域红海龟洄游、觅食行为及自然历史相关的新颖实用信息。本年度的追踪部署将补充过往研究成果，帮助我们更全面地了解北卡罗来纳州海龟的生物学特性。
本数据集为按物种分类、以每1度网格单元聚合的遥测位置汇总结果。
