Data Trackers

As part of an ongoing effort to increase transparency and information sharing, the conservation department has developed two public-facing data trackers that are linked directly to our terrapin and sea turtle data collection. These trackers are updated in real time as staff and volunteers enter the data every day. The public can now view summary data, graphs, and maps on both projects. The terrapin tracker focuses on encounter locations, status of the animals encountered, and trends over time within and between years. The sea turtle tracker focuses on nests laid/hatched, approximate locations, and nesting trends throughout the season. After a successful turtle nesting season, we are close to wrapping up with 308 terrapins saved out of 461 encounters, and 128 nests laid for loggerhead sea turtles as they transition to the hatching season.
