Researchers from the Raine Island Recovery Project in Australia estimated there were 64,000 endangered green turtles at the Raine Island rookery. Believed to be the biggest collection of sea turtles to ever be caught on camera.
The new count shows there may be 1.73 times the number of turtles previously believed and they have now been able to adjust historical data to paint a more accurate picture of the area’s endangered green turtle population.
