This is the final report for our Project "In water sea turtle population study". At the end of the year we repeated the study we did at the beginning of 2018. Again, lot's of turtles were found in the north shore inlets that showed tumors. These results are a great concern, however, due to a lack of funding we cannot continue researching this area.
We did prepare a plan for action to continue and we will be contacting stakeholders this year to see what we can do to keep monitoring in water.
On the south shore the in water study continues, with non invasive methods.
We would like to thank everybody that supported this project and we hope that we can continue the project in the future. Our mission to protect sea turtles and their habitat contiues, but for now we will be focussing on other threats.
