100 argos satellite transmitters were deployed on adult green turtles and 19 loggerhead turtles for the DYMITILE project.

20 new Argos will be deployed in 2014 and 2015 on loggerhead turtles accidentally caught by fishermen in the Reunion. The project is called COCA LOCA and it led by IFREMER and carried by Kélonia.
