Turtle Hatchling Dispersal Survey
Since 2004, marine turtle research and monitoring has been undertaken at Barrow Island as part of the Gorgon Gas Development.
Studies are designed to gather biological and ecological data to ensure that environmental impacts have been appropriately controlled. Empress Marine supported the operations of Pendoley Environmental in tagging turtle hatchlings at the peak of the summer nesting season, and monitoring and recording the hatchling movements on entering the water.
