How fast do the turtles swim?
Although sea turtles have been reported swimming in bursts of speed up to 30mph, it is likely that the turtles moving in this project are swimming at average speeds of 4-5 mph. That is the equivalent to a fast walking pace for a human. Of course, now that these turtles have finished nesting, they will be stopping along the way to feed!
