Fences Prevent Sea Turltes From Falling Off A Cliff
On Raine Island, a cliff was formed with erosion, leading sea turtles to fall and die. Fences were installed and it is now preventing turtles to fall off. In the section Conservation read more about two sea turtle release as well as a group that received a grant for the conservation project. In Ecology, I encourage you to read more about that project designed to reduce turtle road mortality. Finally in the Research section, learn more about a study related to humans who meets turtles.
