Status of the Western Australian marine turtle populations: the Western Australian Marine Turtle Project 1986-1990.

Conduct research on Sea Turtles, saturation flipper tagging program of flatback turtles, census beach track count program, satellite tracking program on 10 flatback turtles and light experiments on flatback hatchlings on behalf of Gorgon Development.

This data set contains sensitive biological resource data for sea turtles, estuarine turtles, and amphibians for Long Island, New York. Vector polygons in this data set represent turtle and amphibian distribution. Species-specific abundance, seasonality, status, life history, and source information are stored in relational data tables (described below) designed to be used in conjunction with this spatial data layer.This data set comprises a portion of the Environmental Sensitivity Index (ESI) data for Long Island. ESI data characterize the marine and coastal environments and wildlife by their sensitivity to spilled oil. The ESI data include information for three main components: shoreline habitats, sensitive biological resources, and human-use resources.

Sea turtles and the management of industrial activity in north west Western Australia

In Australia, all six species of marine turtles that occur in our waters are protected under the Australian Government's Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act) and various State and Northern Territory legislation. Flatback Turtle (Natator depressus)Green Turtle (Chelonia mydas)Hawksbill Turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata)Leatherback Turtle (Dermochelys coriacea)Loggerhead Turtle (Caretta caretta)Olive Ridley Turtles (Lepidochelys olivacea) Under section 270(2)(d) of the EPBC Act, 'Habitat critical to the survival of the listed threatened species' must be identified in the Recovery Plan for Marine Turtles. The criteria for describing habitat critical to the survival of a species for marine turtles was determined in accordance with the EPBC Act Significant Impact Guidelines 1.1 - Matters of National Environmental Significance. The guidelines define 'habitat critical to the survival of a species' as areas necessary: activities such as foraging, breeding or dispersalfor the long-term maintenance of the species (including the maintenance of species essential to the survival of the species)to maintain genetic diversity and long term evolutionary developmentfor the reintroduction of populations or recovery of the species. The mapped areas were identified by consensus of a panel of experts in marine turtle biology.
