Trocini, S., Bradley, J.S., O'Hara, A.J., Robertson, I. and Warren, K. (2008) Loggerhead turtle (Caretta caretta) nest predation at Cape Range National Park. In: 2nd Annual Ningaloo Research Symposium, 28 - 29 May, Perth, Western Australia.

Abstract

Most of the existing sea turtle populations worldwide are in decline. In particular, loggerhead turtles (Caretta caretta) are listed as endangered and loggerhead nesting populations in Eastern Australia have declined by 86% since the 1970s. However, whilst Eastern Australian loggerhead populations have been extensively studied and monitored, not much is known about the Western Australian nesting population.
