Survey of marine turtle nesting distribution in Queensland, 2000 and 2001 : Broad Sound to Repulse Bay, Central Queensland

"As of 2000, the area with the poorest definition of marine turtle nesting area in Eastern Australia has been the flatback dominated nesting from Rockhampton to Mackay. The present report describes the results of the aerial surveys of turtle nesting in the northern Shoalwater Bay to Repulse Bay area that were conducted in November 2000 and November 2001 and addresses a large part of this deficiency."--p. 3.
