This Nesting database is used to track nesting and basking observations of Pacific Island Region marine turtles |
* Purpose |
The Turtle Data Processing System (TDPS) was designed to support marine turtle research at the National Marine Fisheries Service's (NMFS) Marine Turtle Biology and Assessment Program (MTBAP). It provides for the systematic storage, retreival, and summarization of data collected in three source categories, one being data on nesting and basking activity collected by NMFS, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) or other collaborating biologists from turtle nesting beaches. In all categories, most turtles involved are uniquely identified through the application of flipper tags. Thus a key feature of the database is the ability to trace the history of encounters with individual turtles and cross-reference information among data sets. A central turtle ID facilitates this. |
