Time of Activity

These graphs show the time of night that the turtles were seen on the beach, in relation to the time and height of the high tide. The red diamond shows the time of night that we first saw that particular turtle, the blue line and grey triangles shows what time and height the tide was that night. This information is useful to help understand the relationship between nesting activity and tide cycles. It also help us to plan the most important times to be on the beach at night. .
