- Sea turtles : University of Florida – University of the Azores connection 1984 – present. A reviewPublication . Martins, Helen R.; Bjorndal, Karen A.; Ferreira, Rogério L.; Parra, Hugo Alexandre Esteves; Pham, Christopher K.; Rodríguez, Y.; Santos, M. R.; Vandeperre, Frederic; Bolten, Alan B.The loggerhead (Caretta caretta) is the most common sea turtle in the Azores. Since they do not nest in the area, a tagging program was started in the 1980’s to try to discover their origin. The result based on size distribution, suggested that they mainly are coming from beaches in SE United States. A collaboration between University of Florida and the University of the Azores began in 1984 in order to proceed with further research.
