Turtle Rescue in Tortuguero! 🐢❤️‍🩹

A juvenile green turtle, estimated to be one-year old, was found struggling offshore by local fishermen and delivered to staff at Sea Turtle Conservancy Tortuguero. The small turtle was in critical condition, covered in oil, with breathing issues and limited movement. STC staff carefully cleaned the turtle and managed to improve its general condition. After being cleaned, the turtle was placed in a small tank with food, where its condition stabilized overnight until it was ready for release! Thanks to our hard-working staff and members of the community for saving this endangered turtle 💕

THE MORE YOU KNOW: TURTLE TRACKING EDITION 🐢🛰️

There are A LOT of things that have to go right in order for us to receive and share a turtle’s location. While we hope to receive a new location every day, that doesn’t always happen, and isn’t cause to worry! Read on to learn more about how satellite tracking works.

Polar orbiting satellites are currently used for tracking animals. The satellites are operated by the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Organization (NOAA) and are the same satellites used to monitor global weather patterns. Attached to these satellites are special instruments operated by a French company, ARGOS CLS. These special instruments are designed to listen for transmitters like those we place on turtles and to determine where those transmitters are located. While such a task would seem simple, it is not! Each satellite circles the earth every 101 minutes and so it is only over any one place on the planet for about 10 minutes. For the satellite to determine the location of the transmitter it takes about 3-5 minutes, and the transmitter must be on the surface to be detected.

Turtles rarely remain on the surface for that long, and their surfacing must coincide with multiple satellites passing overhead. Thus, the quality and number of locations received for a turtle can vary greatly from day to day. While viewing migration maps, be aware that the plotted turtle movements represent the best data available; however, any given location mark may not be 100% accurate… (continued in comments)

In the distance there always be the unknown, the risk, the fear.Just keep swimming and keep your head up (to breathe). #BeOceanMinded

Great news! Last week, Representative Beyer introduced the Protect Gulf Life Act, a bill that aims to nullify the March 31 decision by the “God Squad” to exempt oil and gas activities in the Gulf from Endangered Species Act (ESA) requirements.

Right now, ESA-listed sea turtles and marine mammals, fish, and corals across 600,000 square miles in the Gulf are unprotected from harm by the oil and gas industry. Sea turtles need this decision to be reversed. Please contact your U.S. House Representative and encourage them to support the Protect Gulf Life Act!

TIME TO VOTE! 🐢🗳️ Thank you to everyone who submitted turtle names last week! ICYMI, here’s the background on this turtle: Our team recently returned from Panama where we deployed satellite tags on 10 nesting leatherback turtles (you’ll be able to track them soon). Now we need your help to name one of them! This lovely lady was encountered nesting on May 10 on Soropta Beach, Panama. Our team noticed she had a boat strike scar, so she is one resilient reptile! We’ve picked our three favorite names from your suggestions, vote using the official poll or leave a comment. We’ll announce the winning name on Thursday! 🥰

Did you know there was an estimated over 10 million Loggerhead Sea turtle eggs laid in the state of Florida in 2024!Now, only a very tiny fraction will make it, but many have a better chance because of all the efforts the organizations around the state along w the people dedicated to helping sea turtles survive!Let’s continue to #BeOceanMinded with Ocean conservation!

Happy World Turtle Day! 🌎🐢 Did you know that all tortoises are turtles, but not all turtles are tortoises?! Let that one sink in. We hope you shellebrate by spreading the love for all of our favorite chelonian companions today!

Attention Brevard and Martin counties‼️ Since 2010, Sea Turtle Conservancy (STC) has received several lighting retrofit grants from the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation’s Gulf Environmental Benefit Fund. Through these grants, we have replaced the lights on more than 365 coastal properties in Florida with wildlife lighting, which has restored more than 48 miles of sea turtle nesting habitat. We are happy to announce that NFWF has awarded STC a new, seven-year grant to continue our successful retrofit program and address problematic lights on Florida’s east and west coasts! We will first prioritize retrofits in Brevard and Martin counties 🏝️

With this program, our team of certified lighting experts will work closely with property representatives, lighting industry professionals, and local code enforcement officers to provide wildlife lighting designs that meet human safety codes, while protecting endangered and threatened sea turtles from artificial light 🐢💡

If you have a beachfront property in Brevard or Martin County and are interested in receiving funding for a wildlife lighting retrofit, please reach out to our lighting team! You can learn more by visiting the link in our bio or you can email our Lighting Program Manager, Rachel Tighe, at rachel@conserveturtles.org 📧

We will first prioritize retrofits in Brevard and Martin counties 🏝️

With this program, our team of certified lighting experts will work closely with property representatives, lighting industry professionals, and local code enforcement officers to provide wildlife lighting designs that meet human safety codes, while protecting endangered and threatened sea turtles from artificial light 🐢💡

If you have a beachfront property in Brevard or Martin County and are interested in receiving funding for a wildlife lighting retrofit, please reach out to our lighting team! You can learn more by visiting the link in our bio or you can email our Lighting Program Manager, Rachel Tighe, at rachel@conserveturtles.org 📧

Attention Brevard and Martin counties‼️ Since 2010, Sea Turtle Conservancy (STC) has received several lighting retrofit grants from the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation’s Gulf Environmental Benefit Fund. Through these grants, we have replaced the lights on more than 365 coastal properties in Florida with wildlife lighting, which has restored more than 48 miles of sea turtle nesting habitat. We are happy to announce that NFWF has awarded STC a new, seven-year grant to continue our successful retrofit program and address problematic lights on Florida’s east and west coasts! We will first prioritize retrofits in Brevard and Martin counties 🏝️

HELP US NAME A TURTLE! 🐢✨ Our team recently returned from Panama where we deployed satellite tags on 10 nesting leatherback turtles (you’ll be able to track them soon). Now we need your help to name one of them! This lovely lady was encountered nesting on May 10 on Soropta Beach, Panama. Our team noticed she had boat strike scar, so she is one resilient reptile! Leave your best name suggestions in the comments. We’ll announce our Top 3 next week and put them up for a vote! 🖤

Giving back to the ocean & sea turtles never felt so good!🌊🐢
