My son and I are wondering why April's satellite tracking ended in March. Where is she?

After swimming in the Atlantic Ocean for almost two years and traveling 9,500 miles, April is heading north once again. She is currently located to the northeast of Antigua and may be returning to Florida to nest.

There are now two leatherback nests laid here in Florida! One of them was found in Boca Raton last week, and another was laid on Monday on Hutchinson Island. We have not found any nests here on Juno Beach yet, but I am out there every other morning looking. Here on Juno, we will begin our daily surveys when turtle season officially starts on March 1st.
