Sea turtle ecology data in the North Atlantic Ocean
This collection contains datasets from a collaborative team of federal and non-governmental researchers studying leatherback (Dermochelys coriacia) and loggerhead (Caretta caretta) sea turtles in the Northwest Atlantic between 2009 and 2024. The datasets include location data satellite tags and data products from published literature on sea turtle distribution and behavior.
