This long-standing marine turtle tagging program monitors numbers of nesting green turtles on John Wayne Beach on the west coast of Barrow Island. New and remigrant nesting turtles are tagged and data (carapace measurements, egg counts etc) are collected. Data are sent to DEC's Science Division in Woodvale. DEC Pilbara Region produces basic summary reports to meet DEC Animal Ethics Committee requirements. These are held at the DEC office in Karratha.
