According to reports, a satellite-tracking transmitter was attached to a rehabilitated loggerhead sea turtle that recovered nearly after four months at a turtle hospital. After that it was released off the Florida Keys. This has been done in relation to a contest, in which the journeys of rehabbed turtles will be monitored.

The sub-adult reptile, Aaron, moved into the Atlantic Ocean and a large number of spectators expressed cheerfulness at Sombrero Beach. The turtle is the only rehabilitated turtle out of 12 that is related to the Sea Turtle Conservancy's Tour de Turtles initiative.

Reports say that in August, the online program will begin tracking the reptiles for three months. And they will be monitored following releases in Costa Rica, Panama, Nevis, W.I. and Florida.

As per reports, the tracking transmitter has been attached to shell of each turtle with epoxy. The transmitter falls off in the period of the natural shedding of outer layer of the shell after nearly a year.

According to Dan Evans, research and technology specialist with the Conservancy, "The takeaway from the whole program is to raise awareness about sea turtles, get people interested in turtles through technology and to let people know what they can do to help protect turtles".
