Who's excited for #SeaTurtleWeek?! This little one sure is since its Kemp's Ridley Day! Some fun facts about Lepidochelys kempii: - Most endangered species of sea turtle #ConservationMatters - Smallest species (~2' & 100 lbs) - Endemic to Gulf of Mexico & US eastern seaboard

"It's Loggerhead Day & don't you forget it!" #GrumpyTurtle #SeaTurtleWeek - 2nd largest hard-shelled species at 200lbs & 3' - Munch on crabs whelks & other benthic species using their namesake large heads - Populations are rebounding in the US & elsewhere #ConservationMatters

"You talkin' 'bout me?" You bet! Today is for green turtles Chelonia mydas #SeaTurtleWeek - Largest hard-shelled species at 4' & 500lbs - Eat seagrasses & algae as adults, omnivorous as juveniles - Highly susceptible to fibropapillomatosis: tumors of the soft tissues and organs😕

Its finally here - #WorldSeaTurtleDay! The culmination of #SeaTurtleWeek celebrates the birthday of Dr. Archie Carr, the OG sea turtle researcher So kick back, relax, and enjoy a minute in the life of a loggerhead sea turtle @Fuentes_MMPB Paralenz seaturtleweek FSU EOAS

Halfway through our nighttime monitoring on St George Island! They've been hit-or-miss all week but fingers crossed for a busy Week 2. Stay tuned for more scenes from our nocturnal adventures! #turtlenerds #nerdingout @Fuentes_MMPB SeaTurtleConservancy FSU EOAS

Excited to announce that I will be joining UNCW_CMS as a post-doc researcher working on habitat mapping and suitability on Masonboro Island. So grateful for my time at FSU EOAS with @Fuentes_MMPB and can't wait to start with Joe Long, UNCW and Stephanie Kamel!

Woo!!! Still a long road ahead but definitely in the right direction bbc.com/news/science-e…

Had a great conversation with David Rainer at Big Beach Brewing Co during #SERSTM about sea turtle nesting trends & threats along Alabama's Gulf Coast There are a lot of dedicated people working hard to conserve these threatened species. Keep up the good work! outdooralabama.com/articles/share…

We are READY!!! Ready to eat, sleep, LOVE turtles and repeat for a very thrilling week. The Extended Program for ISTS41 is here! In an effort to reduce our carbon footprint, we will not have a printed program this year. Instead, you can download it here ists41cartagena.org/wp-content/upl…

So proud of the work Luna's put into making an awesome presentation for #ISTS41 investigating what the size of our turtles on SGI may mean for conservation and population management #ISTS41_Cartagena @ISTS41Cartagena @Fuentes_MMPB FSU EOAS

#ISTS41_Cartagena is in the books! It was amazing seeing everyone in-person again and I couldn't be more proud of my comrades on the Organizing Team. Excited for the 2024 Symposium in Thailand!

There's a lot of concern in #SeaTurtleWorld about how #microplastics may impact nesting including incubation temperatures. So we took a crack at what concentration you would need to start causing problems. Check it out! @Fuentes_MMPB Frontiers - Marine Science frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

Wooo! Go DOCTOR Ian!

Excited to see this data roll in!

A holiday present to all is in Endangered Species Research! @Fuentes_MMPB led this amazing team investigating what we know and what we dont about the major threats to #seaturtles, including the need to address them in combination. Check it out at int-res.com/abstracts/esr/…. UNCW_CMS FSU Research

Big news! A new lab is coming to Florida Gulf Coast University! Starting Aug '24, I'll be an Assistant Professor of Conservation Biology in the Dept of Biological Sciences. If you are a current FGCU undergrad or a prospective MSc student interested in coastal conservation, reach out! #seaturtlenerds
