Um, and so our main job is to show that these animals that we give a second chance to are wild animals.

Uh, so a lot of my research is actually using advanced technology like telemetry devices to place on these animals, and we get this live tracking of where they go.
2:21
Um, and that helps us here locally in New York to show where they're utilizing.

Um, a lot of our turtles go straight back into our bays and hang out here all summer long, and then where they go afterwards because it's not just New York marine mammals and sea turtles, it's actually the greater Atlantic and this Atlantic Ocean population that we're able to study.
