The Palau Marine Turtle Conservation and Monitoring Program’s goal is to continue to assess, publicize, and improve the current status of the critically endangered hawksbill turtle, Eretmochelys imbricata, as well as the threatened green turtle, Chelonia mydas. The nation-wide turtle program, initiated in September of 2004, has established a national management program that includes nesting beach monitoring, flipper tagging, satellite transmitter tracking, and foraging surveys. This program is the catalyst for collaborative efforts with local, regional, and international partners to improve turtle management in Palau.Visit STAT's project page for additional information at http://www.seaturtle.org/tracking/index.shtml?project_id=188Eberdong J2024Palau Marine Turtle Conservation and Monitoring Programhttps://doi.org/10.82144/4cc79170OBIS-SEAMAP381https://seamap.env.duke.edu/dataset/381OBIS-SEAMAPvector digital dataoriginated from Satellite Tracking and Analysis Tool (STAT; http://www.seaturtle.org/tracking/index.shtml?project_id=188)1.0.0ground condition2006110120211223As needed70.235295.99947.694-53.639130.571141.8755.143-6.835OceanNoneMarine BiologyThe telemetry dataset is publicly visualized on the OBIS-SEAMAP web site.
