26472 Cape Lookout Bight sea turtle surveys Data Set Published / External 23713 Funded Projects Project Completed 2008 2016 Seasonal capture efforts were conducted to evaluate patterns of catch rates, species and size compisition. Acoustic and satellite telemetry were used to evaluate residency, movements, and dive behavior. AUV-borne sidescan sonar surveys were conducted at the peak of sea turtle abundance on the spring. To characterize a sea turtle population in a small gegraphic area that seasonally experiences very high densities and evaluate effectiveness of AUV-borne sidescan sonar for sea turtle surveys Cite as: Avens, Larisa (2017).

The number 0 is a valid value for this. 50 EarliestXmitTime Date Yes No Active The time of the initial data received Argos transmission 11/28/2008 11:59 MM/DD/YYYY HR24:MN 55 LatestXmitTime Date Yes No Active The time stamp of the last data point, excluding status messages. 11/28/2008 11:59 MM/DD/YYYY HR24:MN 65 XmitDays Numeric Yes No 4 0 Active The difference in days between LatestXmitTime and Earliest XmitTime. The number of complete days the tag has been transmitting. Days 70 EarliestDataTime Date Yes No Active The time stamp of the first data point, including status messages. This should be close to the deployment date. 4/23/2008 17:55 MM/DD/YYYY HR24:MN 80 latestdateTime Date Yes No Active The time that the data came from the tag 11/27/2008 16:00 MM/DD/YYYY HR24:MN 120 DataDays Numeric Yes No 4 0 Active The number of days for which data was received through Argos. Days 324 The difference in days between LatestDataTime and EarliestDataTime. The number of days for which data was received through Argos. 36659 Published / External Completed Provides satellite telemetry Data Data Table Yes Provides telemetry Data 2 turtle_id Character 4 Yes No Active 4-digit unique code assigned to turtle by NMFS Staff. This field can be used to track turtles that had different tags and/or transmitters attached to them 5 DeployID numeric Yes No 5 Active Argos Platform Transmitter Terminal identifier Must match a value of the field DeployID in Cape_Lookout_Bight_sea_turtle_data_summary.csv 10 PTT Numeric Yes No 3 Active Argos Platform Transmitter Terminal identifier Must match a value of the field PTT in Cape_Lookout_Bight_sea_turtle_data_summary.csv 15 Instr Character 15 Yes No Active Type of satellite tag (SPLASH, SPOT, MK10) 20 correctionType Character 15 Yes No Active The kind of clock correction represented by this entry 30 Tagdate Date 15 Yes No Active Date on the tag 35 Tagtime Time 12 Yes No Active Time on the tag 40 Realdate Date Yes No Active Actual real world date MM/DD/YYYY 60 Realtime Time Yes No Active Actual real world time Data Steward 2014 Person Avens, Larisa larisa.avens@noaa.gov https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6297-065X 101 Pivers Island Rd.
