Background

This turtle was named by St Josephs Primary School.

The St Josephs Primary School is located in Kunununurra, one of the nearest towns to Cape Domett, which is about 100km away.

This turtle was fitted with a satellite transmitter after she completed laying on 23 June 2006 at 9:55pm. The turtle was an average sized turtle for the flatback turtles nesting at Cape Domett, with a carapace (shell) length of 84.8cm and width of 71.3cm.

The turtle was missing half of her front left flipper. Photos of this turtle will be uploaded soon.
