Nesting and non-nesting emergences for four species of imperiled sea turtles derived from acceleration data loggers, 2012-2017

These data contain acceleration, pitch, yaw, roll, and ancillary data collected by acceleration data loggers (ADL) attached to four sea turtle species: green (Chelonia mydas) sea turtles, hawksbill (Eretmochelys imbricata) sea turtles, Kemp's ridley (Lepidochelys kempii) sea turtles, and loggerhead (Caretta caretta) sea turtles. A total of 54 nesting events and 76 non-nesting emergence events were identified in the data and validated by satellite tag location data for three of the four species (i.e., Kemp's ridley spatial data not included) and researcher observations.
