Multi-instrument telemetry package data associated with ten sea turtles from the Brunswick Channel, 2024
This data release contains information from several instruments attached to individuals captured in the Brunswick Channel. Each instrument package included an acceleration data logger (ADL) with an in-line satellite tag designed to 'pop-off' after a set period using corroding links. The package also included a permanent satellite tag provided GPS locations when services were available. These packages were attached to nine Kemp's ridley (Lepidochelys kempii) turtles and one Loggerhead (Caretta caretta) turtle captured during trawling operations. One Kemp's ridley was outfitted with a satellite tag that did not have GPS capability. Of the ten pop-off tags, eight were fully recovered. One stopped reporting near Hilton Head, South Carolina but was not found during search operations, and another was lost to currents that carried it into the Atlantic, beyond reasonable recovery range.
