Nesting Beach

As of this morning, Margaret is only about 100 kilometres away from the Trinidad nesting beaches!

Today there is good news and not-so-good news about Margaret. The good news is that she is making a beeline for the nesting beaches of Trinidad.

Peggy was a leatherback turtle we satellite tagged on Matura Beach in Trinidad at the end of May last year.

Lily Rose was a leatherback turtle we satellite tagged in July 2012 as part of the Great Canadian Turtle Race.

We have Red Rockette’s satellite tag back! Our friends who monitor sea turtles on Bobalito Beach, Colombia, found her—even though we had lost contact with her satellite transmitter.

With our satellite turtles near the nesting beaches, we are thinking a lot about the conservation programs taking place on those beaches right now.
