This data contains acoustic tag readings that were attached to sea turtles that were captured in various fishing gears. These sea turtles were either actively or passively tracked to record movement and determine habitat preference. This data set also contains radio telemetry data from one sea turtle that was tracked by both radio and acoustic telemetry
To determine movements and habitat preference of acoustically and radio tracked sea turtles within Core and Pamlico Sounds, NC
Please pay attention to the emails concerning the second version of the accession.

Sea turtle Acoustic Telemetry data
Published / External
Acoustic transmitters attached to sea turtles captured in various fishing gear enable the animals to be passively tracked. Acoustic receivers set up in an array detect sea turtles with acoustic transmitters as they travel through an area. Once a week, detected transmissions are downloaded from each receiver to a laptop via blue tooth. Using date, time, and and number of transmission for each transmitter allows us to determine movements and locations of acoustically tracked sea turtles using an acoustic array of receivers.
