Western Cape York Turtle Conservation Project

Have the experience of a lifetime with Western Cape York Turtle Conservation Project!

Join an expedition to work with Aboriginal Rangers and researchers as they endeavour to reverse the damage done to nesting sea turtles by feral pigs and entrapment to adult animals in abandoned foreign fishing "ghost nests".

Join the expedition to assist with measuring and tagging of nesting flat back and Olive Ridley turtles. Become immersed in the culture of a remote Aboriginal community, working side by side with its rangers. Protect turtle nesting sites with feral pig exclusion devices. Assist Aboriginal Rangers as they remove "ghost nets" from Flinders Beach, and collect data supporting Queensland's Marine Turtle Conservation Project.
