Abstract

All monitoring programs on the west coast of Australia have trialed a new mark–recapture protocol to address tag loss in individual flatback turtles (Natator depressus) during recent nesting seasons (2020, 2021, 2022). This protocol aligns with ethical considerations for the tagging of marine megafauna. In addition to increasing retention rate of identification tags, this new protocol is expected to decrease the potential long-term health impacts of tagging on this species.

澳大利亚西海岸的所有监测项目都试用了一种新的标记重捕协议，以解决最近几个筑巢季节（2020 年、2021 年和 2022 年）平背海龟（Natator depressus）标签丢失的问题。该方案符合对海洋巨型动物进行标记的伦理考虑。除了提高识别标签的保留率外，这一新规程预计还将减少标记对该物种潜在的长期健康影响。

期刊介绍： Chelonian Conservation and Biology is a biannual peer-reviewed journal of cosmopolitan and broad-based coverage of all aspects of conservation and biology of all chelonians, including freshwater turtles, marine turtles, and tortoises. Manuscripts may cover any aspects of turtle and tortoise research, with a preference for conservation or biology. Manuscripts dealing with conservation biology, systematic relationships, chelonian diversity, geographic distribution, natural history, ecology, reproduction, morphology and natural variation, population status, husbandry, community conservation initiatives, and human exploitation or conservation management issues are of special interest.
