Supporting Sea Turtle Survival at Queens Beach Bowen, Australia. (aggregated per 1-degree cell)

Original provider: Argos Dataset credits: Data provider Apudthama flatback turtle project Originating data center Satellite Tracking and Analysis Tool (STAT) Project partner This project is supported by Queens Beach Action Group, NQ Dry Tropics, North Queensland Bulk Ports Corporation, Queensland Parks & Wildlife, Juru Traditional Owners, Bowen Primary School and many interested community members. Project sponsor or sponsor description NQ Dry Tropics has coordinated the tag and release of Kindawry because very little is known about the Flatback species. 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. 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. Supplemental information: Visit STAT's project page for additional information. This dataset is a summarized representation of the telemetry locations aggregated per species per 1-degree cell.

原始提供方：Argos数据集。数据集溯源说明：数据由Apudthama平背海龟（Flatback sea turtle）项目提供，原始数据中心为卫星跟踪与分析工具（Satellite Tracking and Analysis Tool，STAT）。项目合作方：本项目得到昆士兰海滩行动小组、NQ Dry Tropics、北昆士兰散装港口公司、昆士兰公园与野生动物管理局、朱鲁族传统原住民、博文小学以及众多热心社区成员的支持。项目赞助方说明：NQ Dry Tropics牵头协调了Kindawry的标记与放归工作——由于目前学界对平背海龟物种的了解极为有限，该物种被视作具有灭绝风险的易危物种。摘要：澳大利亚昆士兰州博文是知名的海龟筑巢栖息地。全球现存7种海龟中有6种栖息于北昆士兰近海水域，但当地社区对这些“伟大的海洋行者”所面临的生存威胁普遍缺乏认知与理解。本项目旨在通过卫星跟踪，向社区展示两只平背海龟的日常生存状态：它们的觅食习性、迁徙距离以及潜在筑巢区域。海龟一号：“Kindawry”是一只雌性平背海龟，于2011年11月中旬登陆筑巢，由博文小学的一名学生命名，年龄约40岁，体重90千克。补充信息：如需获取更多项目信息，请访问STAT官方项目页面。本数据集为按物种分类、每1度网格单元聚合的遥测定位汇总数据。
