Our Science
We apply a multifaceted scientific methodology to safeguard leatherback sea turtles and other endangered marine species. Their approach integrates field research, community engagement, technological innovation, and policy advocacy.
Behind Our Scientific Methodology
We prioritize areas with significant conservation impact, aiming to restore ecological balance and reduce anthropogenic pressures on marine ecosystems. Our initiatives are designed to facilitate the recovery of endangered wildlife, like the leatherback sea turtle.
Photo Identification and Citizen Science
We aim to understand patterns of range-wide connectivity by combining photographs, science, and computer algorithms. This initiative utilizes a dataset collected by various groups to develop algorithms for automatic individual identification.
Satellite Tracking
We track the migratory routes of leatherbacks using satellite tags. This data helps identify critical habitats and assess the impact of fisheries on these endangered turtles.
Bycatch Reduction
We focus on reducing fisheries bycatch—the accidental capture of non-target species and investigate habitat use alongside fisheries overlap.
Nesting and Foraging Studies
We collaborate with local communities to study sea turtle habitat use, nesting behavior, and bycatch prevalence. The research aims to identify new nesting and foraging grounds and combat illegal wildlife trade.
