Endangered Sea Turtle Nesting Activity on Upper Texas Coast Beaches

Summary

Texas A&M University at Galveston will characterize sea turtle nesting activity and essential nesting habitat on West Galveston Island in response to the need for an ecological inventory and monitoring of threatened and endangered species (i.e., sea turtles) and critical coastal resources (i.e., nesting beach habitat) where nesting habitat may be an important but virtually unknown commodity.
