Faces of Sea Turtle Conservation: Dr. Cali Turner Tomaszewicz, National Research Council Research Associate

A new technique developed by three NOAA Fisheries scientists is giving us more insight than ever before on sea turtle populations, extracting life history and other information from sea turtle bones. The technology combines bone dating, or “skeletochronology,” and the sequential sampling of annual growth rings in sea turtle bones to identify chemical signatures including stable carbon and nitrogen isotope ratios. Meet the scientists behind this new technology and how it is helping guide the way we protect and conserve sea turtles.
