Abstract
An understanding of habitat use by wildlife in space and time informs effective conservation, particularly in environments used and modified by humans. Emily Webster compiled high accuracy GPS tracking data of foraging marine turtles to assess what coastal environmental variables drive their distribution and fine-scale movements, and to inform evidence-based policy.
