Sirtrack at work - Adventures of a rehabilitated loggerhead turtle

On the 29th January 2009, "Tarly", a rehabilitated female loggerhead turtle (Caretta caretta) was safely released back to her natural habitat after 14 months in the safe care of Kelly Tarlton’s Antarctic Encounter Rescue and Rehabilitation Centre in Auckland, New Zealand. She was fitted with a Sirtrack KiwiSat 101 Argos satellite transmitter in order to monitor her movements post release. See map (right) for her progress to date. Map will be updated weekly.

Sirtrack at work - tracking gannets with µGPS in New Zealand

Cape Kidnappers, only a few kilometers from Havelock North, New Zealand, is home to the largest mainland breeding colony of Australasian gannets, Morus serrator. The colony is within the Ocean Beach Wildlife Preserve and the organisation is interested in knowing more about the ecology of the gannets. Sirtrack recently supplied two complimentary units to prove their effectiveness. Colin Hunter, Sirtrack Product Application Engineer, was at the colony in late 2007 to assist a PhD student from Auckland University who is studying the foraging ecology of the gannets.
