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.
2/4
