Loggerhead turtle "mei" tracked
along baja CAlifornia Coast
Below is a migratory track of a loggerhead turtle named “Mei” from 1/22/25 to 3/6/25 along the coast of Baja California. Mei was released into the central north Pacific on 7/8/2024 and has traveled over 5000 km during the trip down to BCP. She has remained in this area and appears to be feeding on the marine organisms that inhabit this very productive coasta zone.
