After collevcting the necessary materials we were able to conduct 5 netting days in the last couple of months. On each day we did a minimum of 3 netting sessions of 1 hour. These netting sessions give us a lot of information about the sea turtle populations living in our north shore inlets. We do general health checks, measuring their carapace lenght, width and their weight.
Due to the risk of FP we have to work very secure.Each measuring station is cleaned 3 times before a new turtle is placed om it. Each day we have 2 measuring stations, which are manned by 4 people each. In the water there is a special team of 10 people.
We have 3 more netting days planned in 2018. It would be good to compare the different inlets. Obviously we need to repeat this research to annalyse trends.
