Understanding the environmental and biological parameters that guide hawksbill migration (environmental features such as thermal fronts, sea surface currents and ocean depth) is key to understanding how hawksbill turtle populations may be able to cope with the adverse affects of climate change in the future. The only means by which this information currently can be obtained for migrating turtles at large is through satellite telemetry. Using ARGOS linked satellite transmitting units, an individual can be deployed and its locations tracked, environmental variables of its habitat obtained and a greater understanding of hawksbill migratory ecology gained. This information will then be used in conjunction with available information from other tracking studies to quantify the environmental &#x201C;envelope&#x201D; that Caribbean hawksbill turtles generally occupy. Future predicted changes in surface temperatures and currents can then be modeled more accurately and realistically&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;To date, no units have been deployed from the Dominican Republic, an island nation that receives a significant number of leatherback nests as well as hawksbill nests. The Dominican Republic is ideally situated to investigate the environmental parameters that may influence hawksbill migration: relatively central to the insular Caribbean, the Dominican Republic is surrounded by important Caribbean oceanographic features which may be important factors in determining the migratory paths.</abstract><supplinf>Visit STAT's project page for additional information at http://www.seaturtle.org/tracking/index.shtml?project_id=291</supplinf></descript><citation><citeinfo><origin>Drews L.</origin><pubdate>2016</pubdate><title>Understanding the effects of climate change on Caribbean hawksbill turtles: satellite tracking hawksbill migrations</title><onlink>https://doi.org/10.82144/d96382dd</onlink><serinfo><sername>OBIS-SEAMAP</sername><issue>469</issue></serinfo><pubinfo><pubplace>http://seamap.env.duke.edu/dataset/469</pubplace><publish>OBIS-SEAMAP</publish></pubinfo><geoform>vector digital data</geoform><othercit>originated from Satellite Tracking and Analysis Tool (STAT; http://www.seaturtle.org/tracking/index.shtml?project_id=291)</othercit><edition>Version 1.0.0</edition></citeinfo></citation><timeperd><current>ground condition</current><timeinfo><rngdates><begdate>20080812</begdate><enddate>20100925</enddate></rngdates></timeinfo></timeperd><status><progress>Complete</progress><update>As needed</update></status><spdom><bounding><westbc>-95.028</westbc><eastbc>-42.488</eastbc><northbc>23.175</northbc><southbc>11.349</southbc></bounding><lboundng><leftbc>-95.028</leftbc><rightbc>-42.488</rightbc><topbc>23.175</topbc><bottombc>11.349</bottombc></lboundng><descgeog>Ocean</descgeog></spdom><keywords><theme><themekt>None</themekt><themekey>Marine Biology</themekey></theme></keywords><accconst>The telemetry dataset is publicly visualized on the OBIS-SEAMAP web site.
