Background

Ribbon Rose is the sixth turtle to be fitted with a transmitter this season. She came ashore at around 11:00pm on the 22 Dec 2008 to lay her relatively small clutch of only 69 eggs. Interestingly we have met this female before, having tagged her the previous season on the 6 Dec 2007.

This project is managed on behalf of Angola LNG by Mr Warren Klein/Tim Baynham(AngolaLNG Wildlife Advisors)and Dr Kellie Pendoley(Specialist sea turtle biologist)
