*Latest drawing* This is a flatback turtle hatchling. The nesting habitat of this species is largely restricted to Australia. This special turtle nests on #Yunbenun, where I have the privilege of living on #WulgurukabaCountry.

Magnetic Island Network for Turtles rescued the last flatback turtle hatchling of the season from tree roots last night, on #Yunbenun #MagneticIsland.

Guiding a tiny, disorientated #flatbackturtle hatchling to the sea. It was rescued from disentanglement in plants. I am a volunteer with Magnetic Island Network for Turtles

Another shaded flatback turtle nest hatched, with 100% of fertilised eggs successfully hatched. Monitoring Magnetic Island Network for Turtles shows higher success rates from shaded nests.

Our 1st shaded nest on #Yunbenun hatched with success!
Total of 54 eggs:
-44 hatched
-2 small, poorly formed
-6 unfertilised
-2 that ceased development, with soft yolks suggesting heat may not have been the cause of death.

*TURTLE RESCUE* We shaded two turtle nests today on #Yunbenun to try to stop them from cooking in this heatwave, after finding cooked hatchlings yesterday #flatbackturtle

*CLIMATE CHANGE IN ACTION* We escavated a #flatbackturtle #natatordepressus nest on #Yunbenun. Most of the babies got cooked. Three years ago, for the first time in 15 years of monitoring, Magnetic Island Turtle Hospital started finding turtle nests COOKED. #Climatechange #turtle
Almost half a century after she was first encountered on a nesting beach, this #FlatbackTurtle is still reproducing. Scientists estimate that she has produced ~ 1,000 hatchlings over the past 47 years!! #SeaTurtles
The longest-studied #FlatbackTurtle ๐ขhas returned to one of Australia's ๐ฆ๐บkey nesting beaches!
She was first flipper-tagged at a nesting beach in 1974 and has been providing important data since then.

Some things are an exquisite privilege. Seeing a baby flatback emerge from the ground where it is completely dry, and travel to its home for the next stage of life in the big blue sea is one of those. #Yunbenun #natatordepressus #flatbackturtle #turtlehatchling #turtlenesting
Such a privilege to see this Australian endemic flat back turtle lay her eggs and head back to the sea! We made a temporary nest barrier for her. #flatbackturtle #natatordepressus #turtlenesting #yunbenun

2/3 - Sierra used a combination of #SocialNetwork analysis and #QualitativeInterviews to understand #Stakeholdersโ decisions within the North West Shelf #FlatbackTurtle Conservation Program and the levels of influence and trust of these stakeholders.
One of my favourite flatback turtle tagging trips, with @hectortuguero & @natuula ~2015 @jcu #seaturtleweek
Ah turn on Channel 9 right now (if you're in Aus)!! @HounslowJenna & @AdrianGleiss are about to reveal our latest research on #FlatbackTurtle and #TigerShark interactions in Roebuck Bay, Western Australia!! https://t.co/EXf41oxTa4
A few nights ago I had the chance to watch some flatback turtles, a species endemic to Australia, laying their eggs on one of Barrow Island's beach. Amazing experience ๐ข๐ฅฐ #flatbackturtle #seaturtle #wildlife #BarrowIsland #WesternAustralia
๐ข There are 7 species of #turtle and nearly 6 are close to extinction.
Why not adopt a turtle on #TurtleAdoptionDay?
@WWF have so many great ways to get involved! ๐

These little guys are Australia's own "true-blue, ridgy-didge, ocker Aussie turtle" - the flatback is found nowhere else in the world!

The first species to be featured for #SeaTurtleWeek is the #FlatbackTurtle, which are specifically threatened by coastal development. Lights can deter nesting turtles and attract hatchlings, beach armoring and construction prevents nesting, and with development comes pollution.
