Monitors put on sea turtles

GULFPORT, Miss. - The Institute for Marine Mammal Studies will track endangered Kemp's Ridley sea turtles with satellite monitoring devices and plans to chart their course on a website. Three turtles released Saturday were visible via satellite, and were heading south toward the Chandeleur Islands on Sunday, said Moby Solangi, IMMS president and executive director. Solangi said the research will yield important data on the turtles. (Source: Sun Herald, 11/21/10)
