2024 Hawksbill satellite tracking

Check out this live map of hawksbill satellite tracks! You can follow along as turtles complete their nesting seasons at Long Island and undertake migrations to (sometimes distant) foraging areas.

We recently deployed satellite transmitters onto three nesting hawksbills as part of the Jumby Bay Hawksbill Project‘s ongoing efforts to better understand the migratory ecology of the Jumby Bay nesting population in Antigua, West Indies. This work extends from a portion of my doctoral research—check out this journal article to see results summarized through 2019.
