Sea Turtles and the Environmental Management of Industrial Activities in North West W.A. - Hatchling orientation

Created 23/06/2025

Updated 23/06/2025

The effects of three of the most common light types identified in Chapter 5 of the thesis were individually tested under controlled conditions to see if light in a field situation would cause misorientation of hatchlings from 1998 to 2005. The intensity at which each light type might reduce the ability for hatchlings to find the ocean was also tested.
