Hi there
I run the Magnetic Island Vet surgery on Magnetic Island near Townsville Australia
We are in the process of setting up a sea turtle rehabilitation centre on the island and I was interested in your experiences
We had a disastrous year in 2010/2011 with green seas turtle strandings and a community group Magnetic Island Network for Turtles (MINT) was established
We now have a site for a hospital and currently have a large green female in care
Last year with the help of James Cook University and Reef HQ in Townsville we rehabilitated 4 out of the 8 greens that came in to care
i have no experience of nesting turtles and am looking for all advice I can get
There are currently five or six nests here on the island – flatbacks usually- so would just like to be prepared
Many Thanks
