Amelie update!🐢

Just a couple of weeks after her release, Amelie has been spending time exploring the Florida Keys. Based on her recent satellite pings, she’s been moving throughout the area and has likely found good foraging… we like to think she’s enjoying a well deserved island getaway.🏝️

Before her release, Amelie was fitted with a satellite tracking tag as part of our ongoing study in partnership with the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute. This research helps us better understand the movement patterns and behaviors of sea turtles adapting to life with limb loss.

Follow along with Amelie’s journey on our website to see where she heads next and track her movements in real time 💚

Beachgoers in South Carolina spotted a leatherback turtle in the waters of Edisto Beach and contacted the CTURTLE listserv. We were able to identify the turtle as Malone, a nesting leatherback that was originally tagged encountered in 2012 on Juno Beach by researchers at Loggerhead Marinelife Center. Since her original encounter, she has been observed 26 times by individuals at LMC and across Palm Beach and Martin Counties. In 2020, Florida Leatherbacks Inc. placed a transmitter on Malone that followed her movements along the eastern coast of the US for two years and nearly 14,000 km. In 2025, Upwell and Loggerhead Marinelife Center placed a second satellite transmitter on Malone. Her most recent track shows a long migration to forage off the coast of Long Island, New York before returning back down the Eastern seaboard. From the pink scars on her head, it appears that she was struck by a vessel at some point on her travels. Thankfully, it looks like it was healed. These injuries are important reminders for boaters to “go slow for those below.” If you see an injured sea turtle contact the Sea Turtle Stranding and Salvage Network.

Malone’s Sea Mammal Research Unit (SMRU) tag, deployed by Upwell and the Loggerhead Marinelife Center, is part of a larger collaborative effort to collect data on leatherbacks nesting in Florida that can be mobilized to provide better protections in interesting areas and while migrating and foraging.

Prepping Artemis for launch 🚀🐢

Our research team recently had the unique opportunity to satellite tag one of our juvenile Kemp’s Ridley patients—Artemis. As part of a collaborative study, this work helps us better understand how Kemp’s Ridley's utilize the Atlantic for migration and foraging.

Here’s a closer look at the step-by-step process we use to safely tag sea turtles and support their journey in the wild 💙
