The main components of the project were: - Determine distribution, abundance, seasonality, and the duration and peak of nesting season for Kimberley sea turtles - Collect biological information on key population parameters from key nesting beaches - Clarify stock management units and identify connectivity to foraging areas using genetic markers - Select beaches and techniques to allow long term monitoring and trend detection - Investigate critical physiological thresholds of embryos that will can be used to predict the impact of climate change on population viability - Develop systems for cross cultural transfer of knowledge (integration with other themes), participation and training - Integrate existing on ground works by community groups Data includes .xlsx, .txt. .kml and .jpeg
