- Nests that are laid in an area deemed ‘unsafe' are relocated by the team to a predator-free hatchery and once the hatchlings have emerged they are released into the ocean to start their journey to adulthood.
- Important data, such as tag numbers, carapace length and nest clutch sizes, are collected from each female encountered on the beach in order to identify changes in the population within the Seychelles.
- The monitoring of this critically endangered species is one of the primary focuses of the conservation team on the Island.
