Here, we wanted to deploy cameras on sea turtles to look at grazing behaviour and predator interactions. Turtle predators such as tiger sharks are more abundant in the Bahamas compared to the Dutch Caribbean, and therefore we are interested in how this impacts turtle grazing behavior. However, on Bonaire, we were unsuccessful in finding our cameratags back. So we had to search for an alternative way of retrieving our cameratags, after they are automatically released from the turtle. We decided to try out GPS trackers, bought at Spy Spot Investigations in Miami. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5be54fcb266c07eeffacc824/1579871696199-NWWT2HU1BQYRRAB35WLF/E4E07238-7902-40EB-B419-978AE3D697D6.jpg Blog - Follow-up turtle spy cameras on the Bahamas We had one morning in Miami in transit to Eleuthera and very very last-minute managed to buy the trackers. Then we had to reshape our cameratag-design to fit the tracker and for the device to fit on smaller turtles. We bought local simcards on Eleuthera and hoped that this method would provide us with real time locations of the package https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5be54fcb266c07eeffacc824/1579871994543-191SS2AVLPKGCBI1ZN1B/Screen+Shot+2019-11-09+at+21.58.19.JPG Blog - Follow-up turtle spy cameras on the Bahamas We captured the turtles in the morning and attached the camera devices to their carapaces. The cameratag including the GPS tracker in custom-made waterproof yellow packaging is shown on the left. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5be54fcb266c07eeffacc824/1579872304532-SP3ZX0JODYD6535LG6BT/IMG_4796.jpg Blog - Follow-up turtle spy cameras on the Bahamas The next morning, we used the app provided with the GPS tracker to locate the floating package. We saw the trajectory, and where it washed ashore. This way, by boat, we could easily retrieve the cameratag the next day. This was way easier than our previous method, and we managed to deploy and retrieve 5 more cameras during our week on Eleuthera. On the camera footage, we saw turtles grazing on seagrass in various habitats: this data is very valuable to us and will be analyzed further. Additionally, we want to try out this new method on Bonaire as well and hope to increase our sample size. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5be54fcb266c07eeffacc824/1579872657607-F6YCIKOIO2EELG3OV4RF/DSCN5222.JPG Blog - Follow-up turtle spy cameras on the Bahamas We had memorable field week filled with trial and error, long hours and nightly boat rides, but overall we are very happy with our results, thanks to this great team! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5be54fcb266c07eeffacc824/1579874456123-8Z0L5QSK8R5OQNIKY66V/Screen+Shot+2020-01-24+at+14.59.56.png Blog - Follow-up turtle spy cameras on the Bahamas https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5be54fcb266c07eeffacc824/1579872787500-B04AZBV1XOXRDWWC2C3F/DSCN5165.JPG Blog - Follow-up turtle spy cameras on the Bahamas https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5be54fcb266c07eeffacc824/1579872802236-KG600W9LQ109FVXSXKD3/DSCN5490.JPG Blog - Follow-up turtle spy cameras on the Bahamas https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5be54fcb266c07eeffacc824/1579872816196-0E2SFPPOFOVWPCU48HG2/DSCN5250.JPG Blog - Follow-up turtle spy cameras on the Bahamas https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5be54fcb266c07eeffacc824/1579872845415-0NY1CABLAM2G54O41AFC/DSCN5401.JPG Blog - Follow-up turtle spy cameras on the Bahamas https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5be54fcb266c07eeffacc824/1579872830799-LFR8T7MTUBXBQBJ7CT0F/DSCN5305.JPG Blog - Follow-up turtle spy cameras on the Bahamas https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5be54fcb266c07eeffacc824/1579872859693-M6V8ZKHXIYWK84OIFD54/DSCN5235.JPG Blog - Follow-up turtle spy cameras on the Bahamas https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5be54fcb266c07eeffacc824/1579872890217-K2N172TMVX0BRU39Y5L1/Screen+Shot+2019-11-07+at+19.23.03.PNG Blog - Follow-up turtle spy cameras on the Bahamas https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5be54fcb266c07eeffacc824/1579873100085-SWNTV8K2ADGSKQQOF531/Screen+Shot+2019-11-16+at+21.03.06.jpg Blog - Follow-up turtle spy cameras on the Bahamas https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5be54fcb266c07eeffacc824/1579873198394-AJFV59SZKFFIE2IK0GJA/IMG_8266.jpeg Blog - Follow-up turtle spy cameras on the Bahamas https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5be54fcb266c07eeffacc824/1579873239365-HNX637FKPR26BL1L8N36/IMG_1483.jpeg Blog - Follow-up turtle spy cameras on the Bahamas And then sadly it was time to leave the island again! Eleuthera was an amazing experience, the island is beautiful and it’s very nice to compare the seagrass ecosystem here to the one on Bonaire. We learned a lot and go back with lots of data to be analyzed at Wageningen University and research.

We had a great team and worked for long days and spend many hours underwater. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5be54fcb266c07eeffacc824/1579860719720-MHRHZE2UYQD2WS5OAJAY/DSCN4594.JPG Blog - Underwater construction and pilot with turtle-mounted camera’s For our experiments, we’re investigating top down and bottom up impacts of nutrients and fish and turtle grazing on native and invasive seagrass growth and ecosystem services. The students got introduced to scientific diving and quickly developed their underwater construction skills. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5be54fcb266c07eeffacc824/1579861290633-V84B3X0ZOUPD80SRZ1VU/IMG_4563.jpg Blog - Underwater construction and pilot with turtle-mounted camera’s We took seagrass samples, processed them and I tried to transfer all my knowledge of relevant seagrass research methods.

Marjolijn arrived from the Netherlands to help, and we were good to go! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5be54fcb266c07eeffacc824/1579861721664-LO0FBM6KV3T9H8BJA7H8/DSCN5053.JPG Blog - Underwater construction and pilot with turtle-mounted camera’s The next day we fitted our first turtle with a cameratag, in collaboration with sea turtle conservation Bonaire. The method seemed succesfull and the camera stayed on nicely and the turtle seemed not to mind by observation after release.
