Whereas juvenile green and hawksbill turtles can be observed year-round in the neritic waters surrounding Bonaire and Klein Bonaire, adult marine turtles are only rarely seen outside of the breeding season, which combined for the three species lasts from May to December. In-water surveys of marine turtles conducted in all potential foraging habitats around the islands indicate that adult marine turtles are seasonal visitors and do not reside permanently in the islands’ waters. We used satellite telemetry starting in 2003 to address the question of where the foraging grounds are located of the turtles breeding at Bonaire and Klein Bonaire. Our principal objectives were to identify the migratory pathways and the foraging ground locations of post-reproductive marine turtles, in order to deepen our understanding of the potential threats facing these animals.Please contact data provider2012-10-12: A sea turtle identified as 'Valley' was not properly registered and was not shown on the map. The issue is fixed. 2012-10-12: Turtles identified 'Funny' and 'STINAPA' got wrong tag ids. The issue is fixed. vector digital datahttp://seamap.env.duke.edu/dataset/753OBIS-SEAMAPMabel Nava20131230Post breeding migratory tracks of three species of marine turtles from Bonaire and Klein Bonaire, Dutch Caribbeanseamap753https://doi.org/10.82144/1c6f0a7eVersion 1.0.0OBIS-SEAMAPLatestground condition2003102720110302CompleteNone planned-87.934-63.38220.289.882-87.934-63.3829.88220.28BonaireOpen public unless otherwise noted.1.
