Cook Islands Turtle Project : Mauke Report 2012

By Phil Bradshaw B.Sc. and Nerissa Bradshaw

This Turtle Survey on Mauke was undertaken from 4 to 11 June 2012 to assess the abundance, distribution and population status of marine turtles.

This involved beach surveys to evaluate the habitat and categorise its suitability for nesting, recording all nesting activity and excavating the hatched nests.
