Acoustic and satellite telemetry were used to evaluate residency, movements, and dive behavior. AUV-borne sidescan sonar surveys were conducted at the peak of sea turtle abundance in the spring. To characterize a sea turtle population in a small geographic area that seasonally experiences very high densities and evaluate effectiveness of AUV-borne sidescan sonar for sea turtle surveys Funding Agency: NOAA Southeast Fisheries Science Center, Beaufort, NC Laboratory completed historicalArchive NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information ncei.info@noaa.gov https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/contact HTTPS NCEI Contact Information Information for contacts at NCEI. information pointOfContact asNeeded https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/metadata/landing-page/bin/gfx?id=gov.noaa.nodc:0162439 Preview graphic PNG 0162439 NCEI ACCESSION NUMBER 2017-04-04 publication ANIMALS - INDIVIDUAL biological data girth REPTILES WATER TEMPERATURE theme NODC DATA TYPES THESAURUS calipers satellite sensor - active microwave scale instrument NODC INSTRUMENT TYPES THESAURUS biological in situ laboratory analyses theme NODC OBSERVATION TYPES THESAURUS NOAA Southeast Fisheries Science Center Beaufort Laboratory dataCentre NODC COLLECTING INSTITUTION NAMES THESAURUS NOAA Southeast Fisheries Science Center dataCentre NODC SUBMITTING INSTITUTION NAMES THESAURUS Coastal Waters of Florida Gulf of Mexico North Atlantic Ocean place NODC SEA AREA NAMES THESAURUS oceanography theme WMO_CategoryCode 2012-09-15 publication DOC/NOAA/NMFS/SEFSC > Southeast Fisheries Science Center, National Marine Fisheries Service, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce dataCentre Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Data Center Keywords 2026 revision 24 Earth Science Data and Information System, Earth Science Projects Division, Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Greenbelt MD https://forum.earthdata.nasa.gov/app.php/tag/GCMD%2BKeywords HTTPS GCMD Keyword Forum Page Global Change Master Directory (GCMD). 2025.
