We woke up this moring to some sunshine and a beautiful day.  The girls in Fare 5 continued to have issues with running water, spiders and rats... Ms. Jim diplomatically told the managers (Finn and Maria) about all of the issues and they graciously agreed to move the team to two better Fares (numbers 2 and 3). Everyone is releived that they will be able to sleep in a less crowded more friendly environment.  Happy campers, so to speak. 

We are going to hike to a beach that is close by in the hopes that we may find a nester coming up tonight.  The chances are minimal but it is better that sitting around doing nothing.  There has been nesting there before!

After snorkeling from the Fare to breakfast, the team did some cleaning up and getting ready for our 1030 dive at Coral Gardens.  We had a wonderful dive with lots of gorgeous coral, fish and other invertebrates. After the dive we had lunch, helped clean up the dive gear and (with great enthusiasm) the team moved from Fare 5 to Fares 2 and 3.  They will be much happier there, for sure. 

We plan on an early dinner and then hike and/or kayak to the beaches we will monitor tonight for a few hours.  We will not spend the whole night out there - we will come back at 1200 or 0100 h.

Finally some sun!  Trying to dry some clothes.

Makala has Reached the Great Barrier Reef

Image
8/3/2023 It has been over a month now since I last updated Makala activities.  As it turns out, she has remained in the same home range area.  Below is her track up to 8/1/23. 5/28/2023 Makala has remained in her home range habitat on the southern Great Barrier Reef.  The video below highlights Makala's movements during the time period from 4/2/2023 to 5/26/2023.  The trajectories are depicted as straight lines although the turtle actual tracks are usually anything but straight.  After trajectory animation, I have calculated the kernel density utilization distributions for 95% and 50% utilization.  This calculation means that statistically one could expect to find Makala within the boarder of the larger area 95% of the time and within the smaller area 50% of the time.  These areas are quite small and indicates that there is sufficient food for Makala within that small area (95% KUD area = 0.56 sq. km, & 50% KUD area = 0.07 sq. km). The video shows Makala;s trajectory from 4/2/2

Each of the four student participants will contribute a short post:  Our four intrepid HPA student team members. Animal Friends of Tranquility Resort by Annika Everett While most of our time on Moso Island was spent exploring the beautiful and diverse house reef and beyond, some of our fondest memories were made with the terrestrial animals of Tranquility. When we first arrived at Moso Island we were welcomed by 4 dogs that live at the resort - Boots, Socks, Spots, and puppy Zula! While we actually met these doggies at different times, within a few days they became our best friends. They followed us to and from our fares, joined us on beach adventures and eventually became our guardians staying with us at night! Spots was my and Mrs. Jim’s favorite as she visited our fare often, greeted us home after our night long field work, sleeping aside us! Along with the dogs, we shared the island with tons of hermit crabs to the point where the first day of being there I saw one on the beach and

We had a successful night last night.  We were able to capture a beautiful post-nesting hawksbill turtle and attach a satellite tag to her.  She was first observed at 2010 and captured as she made her way back to the beach at 2025.  Below is a picture of the capture team.   After a few hours sleep, I would like bring you up to date on last night's activities.  We traveled from TR to the base camp around 1730 hours, set up camp and prepared dinner.  After dinner we rested for a couple of hours before we made our first beach survey.  Two teams headed out, one to the east (long beach) and one to the west beach area.  As soon as we came out onto the beginning of the longest stretch of west beach, Annika and Alden came across a track!  We stood and listened for a few minutes and could hear the thrown sand (mama turtle covering her nest) and knew she might be close to finishing her nesting (nest location: Latitude: 17° 31’ 19.752” S, Longitude: 168° 14’ 26.052” E).  We radioed back to th
