Green sea turtles
900. Hon Sophie McNeill to the Minister for the
Environment:
(1) Can the minister please table the Department
of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions' data on the statewide number and
locations of successful green sea turtle hatchlings that were monitored for
each of the past breeding seasons from 2020 to 2025?
(2) If not, why not?

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the member
for some notice of the question.
(1)–(2) Green turtle nesting is only
monitored along the Ningaloo coast. This is monitored using track count
information. Nest success, or hatchling emergence, is not monitored and
therefore data is not available. The green turtle monitoring information that
is collected is available in annual reports from the Ningaloo Turtle Program.
