Virginia Aquarium Sea Turtle Research (aggregated per 1-degree cell)

Original provider: Virginia Aquarium & Marine Science Center Foundation Dataset credits: Data provider Virginia Aquarium Stranding Response Program Originating data center Satellite Tracking and Analysis Tool (STAT) Abstract: The Virginia Aquarium & Marine Science Center Foundation is conducting health assessment and telemetry research using wild-caught and by-caught loggerhead and Kemp’s ridley sea turtles. The project goals include comparing rehabilitated and wild animals, developing a relatively fine temporal and spatial scale surface time ratio for abundance estimates, and understanding how “near shore” and “off shore” populations interact and utilize the habitat. (NMFS Permit Nos. 16134/20561) This dataset is a summarized representation of the telemetry locations aggregated per species per 1-degree cell.
