Between the Atolls: Sea Turtle Nesting in the Maldives from 2018 to 2024 [PDF]
Sea turtles are a vital part of the marine ecosystem in the Maldives. While five species have been recorded in-water in the country, only two have been historically known to nest here: hawksbills and greens. In this study, we present cumulative data from

Using satellite tracking to optimize protection of long-lived marine species: olive ridley sea turtle conservation in Central Africa. [PDF]
Tractable conservation measures for long-lived species require the intersection between protection of biologically relevant life history stages and a socioeconomically feasible setting. To protect breeding adults, we require knowledge of animal movements,
