Satellite tags are to be provided to the CNMI STP by NOAA's Pacific Island Regional Office. The tags will be fastened to nesting turtles toward the end of the nesting season to track where 'our' turtles go after visiting the islands. Saipan will certainly have one or two tagged turtles and we will further try to tag one turtle on Rota or Saipan. Guam will also be receiving tags.
