Update on Dory and Luna Subscribe to comments to this posting
Posted by CCC   •   Tuesday, 2009-September-29
These two turtles are having technical difficulties with their satellite transmitters. For Dory, she has recently started sending signals again! For Luna, it appears as if her transmitter has completely stopped working.

There are a few reasons they are no longer sending signal. Some of the more likely explanations are battery failure or the turtles hitting objects like coral while diving for food. There is no way of knowing if they will begin transmitting again, but we will keep you updated if any changes occur.

If you were rooting for either of them in the Tour de Turtles marathon, please continue to show your support by checking the website and cheering on another participant. And remember, Saving Sea Turtles is a Marathon, not a sprint!
