Background

Juvenile loggerhead (67.9cm SCLmin; Female; CC-A14) tagged and released with Telonics ST-20 following four weeks spent in rehabilitation at the SC Aquarium for a prolapsed cloaca and stingray spine wounds associated with collection in a turtle trawl net on 8/1/07. This turtle was first collected by the SCDNR In-Water Sea Turtle Survey on 5/22/06 in the Charleston harbor shipping entrance channel, less than 1km from where it was recaptured on 8/1/07.
