The main components of the project were: 1) to map the distribution of nesting beaches across the Kimberley in space and time; 2) define nesting stocks of green and flatback turtles; 3) develop understanding of their thermal biology and the implications of climate change; and 4) ensure Indigenous involvement through engagement, employment, participation, planning and training. Data includes (TBC)

Turtle track counts (onground) Cape Domett flatback; Raw geo referenced counts Turtle track counts (onground) Eighty Mile Beach; Raw geo-referenced Turtle track counts (onground) Multiple locations; Raw geo-referenced Aerial Survey – turtle track counts (Jan 2014); Unprocessed images Aerial Survey – turtle track counts (Jan 2014); Turtle track locations Aerial Survey – turtle track counts (Jul 2014); Unprocessed images Aerial Survey – turtle track counts (Jul2014); Turtle track locations Priority nesting beaches by species; Processed locations Weather Data – Cape Domett; Raw Weather Data – Location 2 UWA (WAMSI) Eighty Mile Beach; Raw Weather Data –3 Raw UWA (WAMSI) Short Term Deployments; Raw Physiological datasets for flatback embryos Genetic Samples for green, flatback and other marine turtles DNA sequences (mitochondrial DNA for green turtles).
