Satellite Tracking Why did animal X stop transmitting?

SCAM ALERT!



Companies, possibly operating under a variety of names, are selling products online and using SEATURTLE.ORG's turtle tracking maps as a perk to buyers. If you have been offered a SEATURTLE.ORG tracked turtle by purchasing something from Turtle's Journey or The Wildlife Charm they have used SEATURTLE.ORG turtle tracking information without our permission.

Last Location: 1997-08-13 20:19:46 Background Adelita was the first turtle ever tracked across an entire ocean basin using satellite telemtry...maybe even the first marine animal! Millions of kids shared her migration on the internet.



Her migration helped to prove that loggerheads born in Japan cross the Pacific and feed in California and Mexico, before migrating back home to nest in Japan.



She also reminds us that the oceans are connected and that we need to work together to protect sea turtles and their habitat.
