Annual survival of Yucatan nesting loggerheads

Description

We deployed 30 Pop-off Archival Transmitting (PAT) satellite tags on nesting loggerhead turtles between 7 July and 11 July 2010 at Xel-Ha, XCacel, and Playa Aventuras in Quintana Roo, Mexico. The tags were programmed to transmit once a month, if possible, and then, after 1 year, to release itself from the turtle and transmit continuously for the remaining battery life. The tags also were programmed to release prematurely if the turtle/tag maintained a constant depth for more than 1 week. After one year, 29 of the 30 tags had transmitted at least once.
