Background

Gracie is being tracked a second time to investigate foraging ground fidelity.

Gracie is a big girl at 107.4 cm curved carapace length.

Gracie is bearing a satellite tag and a solar-powered geomagnetic tag.



Based on her previous track in 2007, Gracie seems likely to cross the Florida Current and aim toward then Great Bahama Bank.
