Turtle Awareness and Protection Studies (TAPS)


2017 Research Update


June - September

Roatan

Roatan Dive Center
Once again, ProTECTOR, Inc. is proud to have a working research partnership with the Roatan Dive Center (RDC). RDC provides ProTECTOR, Inc. with research space and facilities for the work-up and release of project turtles from the RDC beach. For more information on diving with RDC, or an eco-divemaster course with an emphasis on sea turtle biology, contact RDC from here.
In 2017, we continued working with Roatan Dive Center to complete our sea turtle studies. Throughout this season, we were able to capture, tag, photograph, and blood sample over 30 individual turtles.
