Description

Original provider: Univ of Exeter, Wildlife Conservation Society, Stanford Univ, UC Santa Cruz Dataset credits: Data provider Costa Lab Mammals Originating data center Satellite Tracking and Analysis Tool (STAT) Project partner This project is a collaborative effort between the Gabon National Parks Agency, CENAREST (Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique et Technologique), the Gabon Sea Turtle Partnership, Fondation Liambissi, Ibonga, the Wildlife Conservation Society, WWF, Stanford University, University of California Santa Cruz, the Marine Conservation Institute and the Marine Turtle Research Group at the University of Exeter. Project sponsor or sponsor description The project is generously sponsored by the Darwin Initiative, Tullow Oil and Busch Gardens/Sea World, Vaalco and the US Fish and Wildlife Service. Abstract: This project seeks to develop a more detailed understanding of the relative density of at-sea habitat use for the olive ridley (Lepidochelys olivacea) turtle to allow for more effective marine spatial planning efforts in support of marine protected area design, fisheries management and petrochemical exploration activities. The project is funded by Tullow Oil, the Darwin Initiative and Busch Gardens Sea World Conservation Fund. 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.
