Figure 1

Movements of 16 post-nesting leatherback turtles tracked from the iSimangaliso Wetland Park, South Africa (green star) using tethered satellite transmitters between 2011 and 2013.

Three migratory behaviours were observed, with individuals travelling distances of up to 10,000 km towards the South Atlantic Ocean (orange lines), the Western Indian Ocean (green lines), or the Mozambique Channel (red lines). The final relayed location for each turtle is signified by a coloured circle. Map was created using ArcGIS v. 10.3 (http://www.esri.com/software/arcgis).
