Sea Turtle Research PUBLISHED 🐢☀📣

Friends is very excited to share that the Sea Turtle Program researchers Adren Anderson and Willow Melamet had their work, Using Photo-ID to Monitor Fibropapillomatosis (FP) in Green Turtles at Maho Bay, published in the Marine Turtle Newsletter (Issue Number 169, October 2025).

We are so proud of the turtle team and their work in protecting sea turtle nests on land and monitoring sea turtles in the water! This research involved taking standard photos of sea turtles in the bay to identify and track the growth of the FP tumors over time. From February 2012 to July 2024, 95 individuals were identified. 71 (over 74%!) of those individuals had determined or suspected FP tumors. Varying trends of tumor growth and remission were observed.
