ATLANTIS BLUE PROJECT
tour de turtles 2024


Atlantis Paradise Island and the Atlantis Blue Project Foundation are again proud sponsors of the Sea Turtle Conservancy’s annual Tour de Turtles: a fun, educational journey through the science, research and geography of sea turtle migration using satellite telemetry.

Each Tour de Turtles sponsor chooses a sea turtle-related cause to support and Atlantis chose the critical issue of plastic debris in our waters.

 

 
Victory the turtle
Join us as we celebrate and support “Victory,” a female leatherback sea turtle who will soon begin a three-month migration from her nesting beach in Panama north to her foraging grounds. Tour de Turtles follows the amazing migration these female sea turtles make from their nesting beaches to ocean foraging grounds – a marathon swim covering thousands of miles over just three months.
Track Victory's Journey

Follow Victory’s journey and support her swim to end plastic debris. Victory and eight other endangered leatherbacks will be tracked by the Sea Turtle Conservancy in its annual Tour de Turtles Marathon, which kicked off on World Sea Turtle Day June 16. Using satellite telemetry, the Tour measures the total distance each turtle swims, and the farthest swimmer is declared that year’s champion. Turtles tend to end their journey either in the Gulf of Mexico or somewhere along the eastern coast of the United States.
