Sea Turtles: The Lost Years

After sea turtle hatchlings emerge from their nests, they vanish into the sea. Until recently, their journey was largely shrouded in mystery. Now, as technology advances, researchers from the University of Central Florida are beginning to understand where turtles go during their so-called “lost years.” This episode won in the Marine Science category at the BLUE Ocean Film Festival in 2016 in St. Petersburg, FL.
