Building resilience in Australia's threatened turtle populations

This project will investigate impacts and risks from climate change on three listed marine turtle stocks in the Northern Territory and Queensland. Project activities include: • using oceanographic, relative turtle nesting density, sand spectral properties and digital elevation data, to determine relative risk from climate change and priority conservation areas; • infer hatchling sex ratios based on temperature data; • determine hatching success of the three nesting stocks over two seasons by conducting nest excavations; and • conduct a knowledge sharing workshop with Aboriginal partner groups and co-design mitigation measures.
