Tagging Study of Hawksbill Turtles at Rosemary Island in the Dampier Archipelago.

This long-standing marine turtle tagging program monitors numbers of nesting hawksbill turtles on beaches 1-7 on Rosemary Island in the Dampier Archipelago. Beach 6 is the index beach. New and remigrant nesting turtles are tagged and data (carapace measurements, egg counts etc) are collected. Data are sent to DEC's Science Division in Woodvale. DEC Pilbara Region produces basic summary reports to meet DEC Animal Ethics Committee requirements. These are held at the DEC office in Karratha.
