My name is "Aurora." I'm an adult female green sea turtle encountered nesting on July 21, 2009, on the beach in the Tortuguero National Park, Costa Rica. I measure 102.5 cm in curved carapace (shell) length.

A satellite transmitter was applied to my shell after I finished nesting in beach zone 2 6/8. You can watch when I was released the next morning. Check out my marathon migration map, where you can follow along as I swim.

I'm being sponsored by Shark Reef Aquarium. I'm swimming to raise awarness about the threat of Harvest - Meat for Consumption to sea turtles. Please help me raise awareness about my cause by supporting me!
