Central repository for biodiversity related research and monitoring data from the Dutch Caribbean
In June funding from the Dutch Caribbean Nature Alliance (DCNA) was confirmed to initiate a satellite tracking project of sea turtles on St Eustatius and St Maarten, with collaboration from the St Eustatius National Parks Foundation (STENAPA) and the Nature Foundation St Maarten. The object of this study was to determine the migration pathways and feeding grounds of the islands’ nesting green and hawksbill turtles.
The purpose of this report is to summarise the activities of the DCNA Sea Turtle Satellite Tracking Project 2005, with specific reference to public awareness activities on St Eustatius and media coverage of the project.
