…ed in previous years (some as early as 1996). 4. In order to study habitat use by immature turtles within the Diego Garcia lagoon, and whether individuals depart from BIOT to other distant sites, high resolution Fastloc-GPS-Argos satellite tags were used for the first time to assess their movements. During the expedition, 10 satellite tags were attached to eight hawksbill and two green turtles captured at Turtle Cove. Larger individuals (measuring…
