Last month, a chapter for the Two Oceans Aquarium Foundation's Turtle Conservation Centre ended when a green turtle named Bob's satellite tag stopped transmitting. Bob's satellite tag must have fallen off her shell while swimming; however, her ocean odyssey is far from over.
Last month, a chapter for the Two Oceans Aquarium Foundation’s Turtle Conservation Centre ended when a green turtle named Bob’s satellite tag stopped transmitting. Bob’s satellite tag must have fallen off her shell while swimming; however, her ocean odyssey is far from over.
Noble’s concerns soon gave way to admiration as she observed Bob’s remarkable journey along the South African coastline. On 3 October at 7:07am, the satellite tag on Bob ceased transmitting, with its last known location being 300 kilometres west off the coast of Hondeklipbaai. It was discovered in May that Bob is female, which means she will likely return to her birth beach to lay eggs. Genetic samples taken before her release will help identify her origin.
