Carrie the Leatherback #seaturtle is now swimming along the coastline of #newfoundland after traveling almost 6,000 kilometers. (3,700 miles) Check out this animation of her travels since she left Florida back in May. @conserveturtles #DataVisualization

Carrie the leatherback is quite the traveler and has almost made it to Newfoundland after swimming more than 5,000 kilometers. Will she reach the coast, or turn west into the Gulf of St. Lawrence? Follow along at trackturtles.com/carrie or tourdeturtles.org #tourdeturtles

Meet Carrie, one of the turtles we are tracking. Carrie was tagged on Jupiter Island in May and has left the nesting beach. Carrie is now located more than 1,400 km from FL and has traveled more than 3,200 km! View her track at tourdeturtles.org or trackturtles.com

Leatherback sea turtles will occasionally create circles in the sand crawling up and down the beach. These beautiful "orientation circles" are fairly common on our very flat nourished beaches. #leatherbackturtle #edangeredspecies #timelapse #LoveFL

Look at them go! Carrie the #leatherback #seaturtle has headed north after nesting in Florida. Will the others be heading out soon? Looks like they still have some eggs to lay! Follow along at trackturtles.com and tourdeturtles.org @conserveturtles

Say hello to Whitney, one of the turtles running in the annual Tour de Turtles. Whitney is raising awareness about coastal armoring, an issue that many beaches in Florida are facing. #WorldTurtleDay #SeaTurtleWeek @conserveturtles @Tags4Wildlife

The tracking map is starting to fill up! We are now tracking six leatherbacks from our study are at Jupiter Island. @Windycom @conserveturtles #endangeredspecies #SeaTurtleWeek

Did you know that we have identified more than 900 individual leatherback turtles nesting on our local beaches? Each year beginning in March, our volunteers patrol the beaches at our study site in Martin County Florida looking for endangered leatherback turtles. #SeaTurtleWeek

Our study primarily involves leatherback sea turtles at Martin County in Florida, but our team loves encountering hundreds of Loggerhead turtles each night. Last season there were over 11,000 #loggerhead nests along our study area! #SeaTurtleWeek

Our team satellite tagged another nesting leatherback last night! 🐢+🛰️=♥️ You can view her track at trackturtles.com as soon as data arrive later this evening. #SeaTurtleWeek #leatherbackturtle #jupiterfl #lovefl

Have you ever wanted to name a leatherback sea turtle? Now you can! We are looking for a fun name for a new turtle to be featured on the trackturtles.com website. More info. can be found here floridaleatherbacks.com/shop… #SeaTurtleWeek

It was pretty fun to be attaching a satellite transmitter to a nesting leatherback while @SpaceX was launching a #Falcon9 rocket to our north tonight! @Tags4Wildlife @conserveturtles #SXM8

Here is an animation of DOT's travels since nesting in March. After laying 3 nests in March and April, DOT left FL and headed north. You can follow along with us at trackturtles.com/dot and visualize her movements as she interacts with ocean currents. @LotekWireless @Windycom

Meet DOT! A new leatherback sea turtle that we have begun tracking this season. You can follow DOT as she wanders around the ocean currents at trackturtles.com/dot #leatherback #seaturtles #jupiterisland @LotekWireless @Windycom

Here is a neat animation of Freckles the #endangered #leatherback sea turtle interacting with the warm waters of the Gulf Stream current. Look at how she follows the Gyre at the end of the video! @Tags4Wildlife @conserveturtles #DataVisualization

Where do our leatherbacks travel to after nesting? Check out this animation of "Freckles" movements. She was tracked for 320 days and travelled about 14,600 miles! View her track at trackturtles.com

We are tracking an #endangered leatherback sea turtle named "Sam." Since we began tracking her 35 days ago, she has travelled more than 2,000 kilometers and has laid 3 nests along our beaches. View her track at trackturtles.com/sam

It was a beautiful night on the beach with a full #Supermoon and lots of #leatherback turtles. This beautiful new un-tagged turtle was found along the Hutchinson Island section of our study area. #EndangeredSpecies

Last week our team found one of our favorite turtles - Juno! Juno was tagged TWENTY years ago by FLI's very own Chris Johnson while she nested on Juno Beach. She has been seen over 30 times in her 20-year history. She's looking great and we were so happy to see her!
