The National Aquarium has had a long partnership with WIDECAST, particularly in Costa Rica, where the leatherback sea turtle, one of the primary species of concern, comes ashore to nest.  This species has been listed as endangered since 1970.  Very little is known about the turtles’ migratory behavior, population genetics or dynamics, inherent diseases, or mortality rates.
