Technology has really helped us keep an eye on endangered sea turtles. This is important for protecting these amazing animals.
GPS and Satellite Tracking: These tools help researchers see where the turtles go, how they travel, and where they like to live.
Drone Surveillance: Drones fly overhead and take pictures of nesting areas. This helps us spot any illegal activities, like poaching, or damage to their homes, so we can respond quickly.
Camera Traps: These special cameras take pictures of turtles in their natural surroundings. This lets scientists collect information without bothering the turtles.
For example, using satellite tracking has really helped increase the number of leatherback turtles along the Pacific coast.
