Satellite tracking of rehabilitated sea turtles suggests a high rate of short-term survival following release.
The rehabilitation of wildlife can contribute directly to the conservation of threatened species by helping to maintain wild populations. This study focused on determining the post-rehabilitation survival and spatial ecology of sea turtles and on comparing the movements of individuals with flipper a...
