Eliminating numbers as a metric collected by #CitizenScience reduces biases directly related to sampling effort.
Sub adults are smaller than adults and only remain sub adults for a few years.
If sub adults are consistently being observed, then initiatives improving recruitment are successful 3/4

Basking data helps measure the success of conservation efforts like #TurtleIslands, headstarting, and nest protection.
Seeing more sub-adults basking? That’s a sign of population recovery.
Declining adults? A warning to act.

Why do turtles bask? 🐢☀️
Basking isn’t just vital for turtles’ health—it’s a tool for conservation.
Tracking basking turtles reveals size classes (adults vs. sub-adults) and shows if populations are stable, declining, or thriving.
Watch these eastern long-necks basking on our #TurtleIslands! 👇 1/4

Watch that nest grow and grow with eggs.
Foxes and road mortality devastate our turtle populations.
These sanctuaries have more than 20 years of Science behind them
The turtles love them. So do the water birds too.
