Turtle migration recorded on the Great Barrier Reef (Video)
Researchers using a drone filmed how on the Great Barrier Reef, 64,000 green sea turtles migrate to the Rhine Island to lay eggs.
"In these images taken from a drone, we see the world's largest migration of green turtles, and this is the largest number of turtles, recorded first of the project for the restoration of the Rhine Island," said fund manager Anna Marsden.
Previously, scientists believed that half as many green turtles migrate to this island. As noted, accurate data on the number of animals will help scientists work on the restoration of nesting beaches, as well as on the construction of fences to prevent the death of turtles.
“Everyone is working to strengthen the island and ensure the survival of green turtles and many other species,” said Anna Marsden.
