Objectives:Evaluate movement and distribution patterns of sea turtles in our series of study sitesin The Bahamas. This objective includes the questions of where do the turtles comefrom, how long are they resident in these sites, and where do they go when theyleave.Collect data that will allow us to develop techniques to compare habitat quality and toserve as a foundation for studies of the role of green turtles in seagrass ecosystems.Evaluate models for estimating growth rates and carrying capacities for sea turtlesbased on our data from a long-term study of immature green turtles in the southernBahamas.
