Unlike conventional tracking methods (tags, satellite trackers\u2026) photo-identification does not require any manipulation of the sea turtles, and is therefore considered as a non invasive method.

To increase locals\u2019 participation (through citizen science), the organisation created a guidelines method on the method. The functioning for the method was also shared on social media. You can contribute to this program in sending us the pictures of the sea turtles taken (no need to be close to the turtles and remember that you don&#8217;t have to disturb them).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The scales on each side of sea turtle\u2019s head are like fingerprints for human\u00a0: unique to each individual and stable with time.
