Turtle tagging

摘要

Evelyn came ashore in the early hours of a June morning in Casey Key, Florida, USA. After making her nest and depositing her eggs, she headed back toward the warm Gulf waters. Little did she know she would be stopped en route by researchers from Mote Marine Laboratory, Florida.rnEvelyn is an adult female loggerhead turtle measuring 94.6 centimetres curved carapace length who was originally seen in 2006 at Casey Key. She is also the first loggerhead to be tagged with Desert Star's solar-powered, geomagnetic tag, SeaTag-GEO. The tagging project is managed by Dr Tony Tucker of Mote Marine Laboratory.
