Funded by NOAA and University of Hawaii, this project gathers information on turtle usage in several atolls as a means to track their movements within the Pacific and to educate communities on the importance of managing sea turtle resources in the Marshall Islands. In it's third year of this data collection project, the Marshall Islands ranked #1 among all data collectors in the Pacific. By training local women to gather genetic samples and other data, this project not only provides income for the collectors, but also serves to build their personal skills.
