	abstract = {The marine turtle nesting activities of the Gnaraloo region for the 2008/2009 season are
concluded in this report.
Statistics in relation to the species composition of the nesting population have concluded that
the predominant nesting turtle is the Loggerhead turtle (Carretta carreta).
The density, frequency and distribution of turtle nests throughout the study area resulted in
368 successful nests recorded, with the peak of nesting in mid January 2009.
The common incubation period for the Gnaraloo region was found to be 59 - 61 days and the
predatory pressures on the nests and emerging hatchlings were also studied.},
