North West Shelf Flatback Turtle Conservation Program

The 5th Australian Marine Turtle Symposium was held from 11th to 14th September in Ballina, NSW.

Special celebrations this year for world sea turtle day as Queensland's Dr Col Limpus is recognised for over 50 years research on turtles as Officer of the Order of Australia in the Queen's Birthday Honours.

Today is world turtle day and the end of National Volunteer Week. The North West Shelf Flatbacks team would like to thank all of our volunteers.

For the International Day of Light 2019 we highlight the importance of using best practice lighting design and assessing artificial lights for their impact on wildlife.

In a world-first discovery DBCA scientists and Traditional Owners found a range of juvenile flatback turtles feeding in waters near Broome.
