This collaborative satellite tagging project has not only increased our understanding of CNMI sea turtle biology and migration and engaged local communities and conservation partners, but has also stretched across ocean basins connecting the Pacific Islands with the IOSEA.

Goals of this effort were to integrate sea turtles in educational activities, acquire greater understanding of their biology and ecology, and promote greater community awareness of conservation needs and migrations. These are CNMI's first post-nesting satellite tagged turtles, resulting from a collaborative project of CNMI Department of Lands and Natural Resources (DLNR) -- Division of Fish and Wildlife (DFW), the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) -- Pacific Islands Regional Office (PIRO) and Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center (PIFSC), and local community volunteer organizations. notPlanned Tammy Summers Department of Lands & Natural Resources, Division of Fish & Wildlife, Sea Turtle Program Primary contact tammymaesummers@yahoo.com www.ihaggan.com NA NA NA Tammy Summers owner NA zd_974 2025-07-31T16:05:54-04:00 dataset Summers, T. 2013.
