Fernando de Noronha archipelago is located 346 kilometers from the Brazilian
continental coast, which is a green turtle rookery and developmental site for green
and hawksbill turtles. Loggerhead and olive ridley turtles seldom appear in the
archipelago. This is the first research that has used a glass bottom boat to gather
data on the behavior, frequency, and species composition of sea turtle populations
within the archipelago. This research aimed to test the effectiveness of this new
method of observation, for scientific purposes.
