Marine turtle monitoring programme in Tonga : project report
Marine Conservation Action Fund
2008
The survey forms used to record data and information for turtle track/nests and nesting turtle surveys were developed before the start of the project. These forms were further refined in consultation with the Tonga Departments concerned during the in-country training prior to the conduct of the initial surveys. In addition to forms for recording data, guidelines were also developed to help in the conduct of the surveys and in marine turtle species identification.
