The species is considered vulnerable to extinct. Abstract: Bowen, Queensland Australia is a well known nesting site for sea turtles. Six of the world's seven species of sea turtles are found off the coast of North Queensland. Despite this, there is a lack of community awareness and understanding of the issues impacting on these great mariners. This project aims to demonstrate to the community through satellite tracking what the day-to-day lives are of two Flatback sea turtles. How they feed, what distances they travel and where they might potential nest.<br>Turtle one: Kindawry is a female Flatback turtle that came ashore to nest in mid November 2011. Kindawry was named by a student from Bowen Primary School. Kindawry is about 40 years old and she weights 90 kilograms. <br> Marine Biology Telemetry Tagged animal N/A <a href='http://www.seaturtle.org/tracking/index.shtml?project_id=684' target='_new'>Visit STAT's project page</a> for additional information.
