attribute	NC_GLOBAL	EngAbstract	String	The main aim of this project is to use satellite tracking to understand migration patterns and foraging area location of the largest loggerhead sea turtle breeding aggregation in the Mediterranean on Zakynthos, Greece. Additionally, we aim to further investigate over-wintering behaviour in one of the presumably important foraging areas for the population, the Adriatic Sea. Beyond satellite tracking, we investigate the suitability of a complimentary method, namely stable isotope analysis, for the study of sea turtle migration. If these chemical compounds differ in the tissue of turtles occupying geographically distinct foraging areas, it should be possible to infer to an individuals foraging location from samples obtained at the breeding area. To this aim, different tissues allowing non-intrusive sampling are collected. ARCHELON tagging data has revealed that most female turtles use different beaches for nesting, both within and between seasons. 
attribute	NC_GLOBAL	EngDescr	String	The main aim of this project is to expand on previously conducted satellite tracking (by the University of Bern, Switzerland) to understand migration patterns and foraging area location of the largest loggerhead sea turtle breeding aggregation in the Mediterranean on Zakynthos, Greece. Such knowledge is key to protection of adults away from the breeding area. The area of Zakynthos becoming very well protected in the last years by a national marine park, matching protection of these same individuals at sea is imperative for population health.Additionally, we aim to further investigate over-wintering behaviour in one of the presumably important foraging areas for the population, the Adriatic Sea. Water temperatures in its northern part drop far below what loggerheads can deal with, and extended over-wintering migrations have been observed in previously tracked individuals. Part of the transmitters we deploy in the current project not only render location information, but will allow to infer to diving patterns. Beyond satellite tracking, we investiate the suitability of a complimentary method, namely stable isotope analysis, for the study of sea turtle migration. If these chemical compounds differ in the tissue of turtles occupying geographically distinct foraging areas, it should be possible to infer to an individual¢s foraging location from samples obtained at the breeding area. To this aim, different tissues allowing non-intrusive sampling (e.g. commensal barnacle, scute flakes, non-viable eggs) are collected. The nesting area of Zakynthos comprises six individual nesting beaches (Marathonissi, East Laganas, Kalamaki, Daphni, Sekania and Gerakas) in a small geographical area. ARCHELON tagging data has revealed that most female turtles use different beaches for nesting, both within (Loggerheads lay several clutches during a nesting season, but typically only reproduce every few years) and between seasons. Original provider: Marine Turtle Research Group Dataset credits: Data provider Marine Turtle Research Group Originating data centerSatellite Tracking and Analysis Tool (STAT) Project partner This project is carried out by Judith Zbinden, Brendan Godley and additional members of the Marine Turtle Research Group at the University of Exeter, Cornwall Campus. Fieldwork is carried out in cooperation with ARCHELON, The Sea Turtle Protection Society of Greece. This greek NGO has been monitored turtles and their habitat on Zakynthos since the 1983. The research is approved by the National Marine Park of Zakynthos.Judith Zbinden is supported by a grant from the Swiss National Science Foundation. Stable isotope analysis will be conducted at the Life Sciences Community Stable Isotope Facility, hosted by the Scottish Universities Environmental Research Centre. Project sponsor or sponsor description Satellite tracking is sponsored by three Swiss Foundation: The MAVA - Stifung für Naturschutz continued its involvement with the study population and is founding the majoriy of transmitters. Additional funds are provided by the Basler Stifung fuer biologische Forschung as well as the Karl Mayer Stiftung. Supplemental information: Visit STAT's project page for additional information. This dataset is a summarized representation of the telemetry locations aggregated per species per 1-degree cell.
