Abstract: Although it is commonly assumed that female sea turtles always return to the beach they hatched, the pathways they use during the years preceding their first reproduction and their natal origins are most often unknown, as it is the case for juvenile green turtles found in Martinique waters in the Caribbean. Given the oceanic circulation of the Guiana current flowing toward Martinique and the presence of important nesting sites for this species in Suriname and French Guiana, we may assume that a large proportio… Show more

“…Three of these 24 turtles eventually migrated. All individuals that undertook long-distance migration had a CCL>78.5 cm (in agreement with Chambault et al, 2018). At least nine individuals did not migrate soon after the tracking period: they were recaptured in the following years.…”

“…The literature remains scarce about foraging aggregations of immature green turtles in the Lesser Antilles, despite occurrences of such individuals around these islands (Chevalier, 2006;Meylan, 1983). In Martinique, Chambault et al (2018) evidenced the presence of immatures originating from different rookeries, among which some individuals departed in migration when approaching sexual maturity. However, much less is known regarding immatures that have not undertaken postdevelopmental migration and to date, their site fidelity and habitat use remain unknown.…”

“…Although some behavioural similarities can be observed between individuals from the same species, a wide variation in plasticity responses is commonly evidenced in sea turtles [25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32], and is revealed by contrasting diet [33][34][35], diving behaviour [25,26], spatial dynamics [20,28,31] or habitat used [25,36]. For example, adult female green, loggerhead and leatherback turtles explore different habitats during their postnesting migration, using both neritic and oceanic environments [27,31,37].…”

“…For example, adult female green, loggerhead and leatherback turtles explore different habitats during their postnesting migration, using both neritic and oceanic environments [27,31,37]. Similarly, juvenile green turtles from the Atlantic spread in different directions to reach distinct foraging grounds [32]. The reasons for such a plasticity are still unclear, but may be related to the individual's personality [38], a genetic diversity [32] or an adaptation to local conditions of the habitat [25].…”
