Three of our satellite tagged hawksbills are still transmitted from their home foraging grounds.

The tracks shown above represent the post-nesting migration routes for three turtles that are still transmitting at this time (5/12/20).  They all traveled from Moso Island, Republic of Vanuatu and are currently at their home foraging grounds.

Below is some current home range locations for three of our hawksbill turtles satellite tagged on Moso Island during the 2019 and 2020 nesting seasons. Two of them are currently residing on the southern reef of New caledonia (Launmakala and Pua Lilia) and one (Tassiriki) is located off the southwest coast of Aneityum Island (most southerly Island, Republic of Vanuatu).
