Now we need your help to continue providing the best care possible for these endangered and threatened species. The Turtle Back Zoo donated a 4,000 sq foot facility and in return, STR provides outreach and sea turtle rehabilitation inside the zoo. In 2016, Sea Turtle Recovery and the Essex County Turtle Back Zoo joined together for conservation. Teaming up with a group of individuals that have committed their time and energy to ensuring that sea turtles have a future, Sea Turtle Recovery was founded, creating the first long term sea turtle hospital in New Jersey. Each Co-Executive Officer has years of experience and training with marine mammals and sea turtles. Bill Deerr and Brandi Biehl both received their Bachelor’s degrees in Marine Science and have dedicated their lives to saving marine species. Sea Turtle Recovery was started by two marine scientists that wanted to do more to help save endangered and threatened sea turtles in New Jersey. Now, STR ensures that sea turtles receive the necessary care here in NJ, and we are working to expand our education program in the state. The Sea Turtle Recovery was established to create a voice for sea turtles in NJ. Our Contents page has places to go, things to see-everything from tragedy to comedy. If this is your first visit, this is a good place to start. Learn how and why we created Turtle Trax. Originally a tribute, this excerpt from The Little Prince has become our metaphorical mission statement. Sea Turtle Recovery was created to help these turtles in need.Īnother obstacle in New Jersey was the lack of information and educational resources available to the public regarding sea turtles. To Clothahump, the first sea turtle we ever met. With this occurring, it did not leave available space for New Jersey’s stranded sea turtles. Also, each year the increased sea turtle strandings in the Northeast Region of the United States caused several facilities to reach capacity. These sea turtles had to endure long transports as far south as North Carolina. Prior to Sea Turtle Recovery’s opening, endangered and threatened sea turtles that stranded in New Jersey due to illness or injury could be stabilized in New Jersey but, if they needed long term care, had to be transferred out of state. STR’s life support system uses UV and ozone to provide a safe environment for the sea turtles to heal until they can be released. The Sea Turtle Recovery Center is a 4,000 square foot, state of the art facility located in Essex County. We hope that STAT will act as a catalytic foundation, fostering collaboration among users of satellite telemetry, and ensuring maximum value from these studies.Sea Turtle Recovery, STR, is a 501(c)(3) Non Profit Organization dedicated to the rehabilitation of sea turtles and providing public outreach. If you see a nesting turtle, hatchlings, or know of a turtle emergency or stranding please use the PISTP Hotline 888.290.1065 or call 911. STAT also facilitates collaboration and the sharing of animal tracking information with the wider public and funding organizations. They had no idea there were so many people who loved sea turtles as much as they do. A variety of environmental data layers, including bathymetry, sea surface temperature, sea surface height, ocean currents and chlorophyll, can be sampled for all locations in the STAT database and can be downloaded and incorporated into tracking maps and animations. A number of data filtering options are available, including setting maximum speed, time or distance between consecutive points, Argos location class, and turning angle. These data are parsed and stored in a relational database and automatically backed up to an offsite location. STAT logs in to the Argos computer network each day and downloads all available locations and associated data for each user.

The Satellite Tracking and Analysis Tool (STAT) is a freely available system designed for biologists who work on animal tracking it includes a set of standardized tools and techniques for data management, analysis, and integration with environmental data. Your symbolic sea turtle adoption with Oceanic Society not only makes a great gift, it also provides direct support to our sea turtle conservation programs. fishery distributions) datasets presents additional technical and computing challenges. remote sensing imagery) and anthropogenic (e.g. Integration of animal movements with other physical (e.g. A broad range of skills is required to efficiently download, collate, filter and interpret Argos data. *Email: Despite the obvious power and advantages of the Argos system to track animals by satellite, the data generated are difficult for many biologists to exploit.
