Island-finding ability of marine turtles [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences, 2003 Green turtles (Chelonia mydas) swim from foraging grounds along the Brazilian coast to Ascension Island to nest, over 2200 km distant in the middle of the equatorial Atlantic. To test the hypothesis that turtles use wind-borne cues to locate Ascension Island we found turtles that had just completed nesting and then moved three individuals 50 km ...

An assessment of marine turtle population status and conservation in Cambodia
Oryx, 2023 Cambodian waters historically supported significant nesting populations of marine turtles up to the early 20th century. However, although fishing and coastal development have intensified, marine turtle conservation has received little recent attention ...
