Supporting agencies

We would like to thank the Moreno family in Arenas, Veraguas Province, for granting us access to El Gato Beach, and Joelbin De la Cruz, Daniel Rivas, Bernardo Peña, Wilfredo Poveda, and Adrian Rivas for their assistance during the fieldwork and satellite tag installation. Additionally, we thank Jeffrey Seminoff from NOAA for his advice and suggestions regarding materials and the satellite tag installation procedure. We also express our gratitude to the National Research System of Panama (SNI) and to the Research Group in Engineering Technologies Applied to Society (GIITAS) for their support and collaboration in the development of this research project. The satellite tagging and monitoring program was part of a project funded by the Secretariat of Science, Technology, and Innovation of Panama (SENACYT) under Contract No. 191-2022. This work was conducted under Scientific Permit No. ARB-077-2022 was issued by the Ministry of Environment of Panama.
