Udayana University (Denpasar, Indonesia) and the joint program WWF Berau, was so kind to provide one of their fastlock gps systems (Sirtrack) to track a green turtle from Derawan to study the movement on its foraging ground. Jaya Rata came all the way from Denpasar to Derawan to attach the Sirtrack transmitter. He has tagged a lot of turtles in Indonesia.
The route of Mayo the green turtle can be followed here: http://www.seaturtle.org/tracking/?tag_id=53005 Have a look! Will she stay around Derawan or travel to greener meadows?
