Rosalie and April

Posted On: Thu, 2007-01-04 11:16 by leatherbacks

I am happy to report that Rosalie is still transmitting data after 576 days! She is heading south rather quickly out in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean and is now at a latitude just below Juno Beach. Do you think she will return to nest this season?
Rosalie has now traveled more than 16,600 kilometers since being tagged on June 7th 2005. She is currently more than 3,500 kilometers away from Juno Beach over the mid-atlantic ridge and will need to start heading towards Florida if she is going to nest this coming season.
A current map of April and Rosalie's travels can be found in the "Our research" section of this site.
