Long-Term Movements of an Adult Male Kemp's Ridley Sea Turtle (Lepidochelys kempii) in the Northwestern Gulf of Mexico

Despite recent insights into the spatial ecology of juvenile (Morreale and Standora, 2005; Renaud and Williams, 2005; Mansfield, 2006; McClellan, 2009; Seney and Landry, 2011; Lyn et al., 2012) and postnesting female Kemp’s ridleys (Lepidochelys kempii) (Seney and Landry, 2008, 2011; Shaver and Rubio, 2008; Shaver et al., 2013, 2016), the breeding, migratory, and foraging behaviors of adult male Kemp’s ridleys remain largely unknown (Shaver et al., 2005).
