TRACKED SEA TURTLES
Winnie is an adult female loggerhead (Caretta caretta) that was satellite tagged on Anna Maria Island on June 23, 2025 as part of the Sea Turtle Conservancy’s Tour de Turtles, where she is brining awareness to the threat of light pollution on sea turtles. Hurricane Hanks generously sponsored her tag. You can follow her track to see when she nests again, where she nests, how many more nest she lays, and where she goes when the nesting season is over. You can also download an app to track her and all the other Tour de Turtles sea turtles here.
More Tracked Sea Turtles from Anna Maria Island:
All the sea turtles below are adult female loggerheads that nested on Anna Maria Island and were tracked by Sea Turtle Conservancy as part of the Tour de Turtles . Once they finished nesting, they traveled to their foraging grounds – the area where they spend from 1 to 3 years feeding and resting and building up energy to return to AMI to nest again. Note how they each go to different foraging grounds despite nesting on the same island. Click on the names below to see their tracks or click this link for all their bios.
