A marine biology article reported on a tagging study of juvenile loggerhead turtles conducted off the coast of South Carolina. Researchers captured 64 turtles between July 10 and August 2, 2019, and attached satellite tags programmed to transmit location data every 6 hours. The article stated that 52 of the 64 tags transmitted for at least 30 days, while 19 transmitted for at least 90 days. The researchers defined “nearshore” as waters within 20 kilometers of the coastline and reported that, during the first 14 days after release, 41 turtles remained nearshore for at least 80% of their recorded locations. The article also noted that sea-surface temperature during the capture period ranged from 27.1°C to 29.4°C. It did not report turtle mass or carapace length.
According to the passage, which of the following is true?
