Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)
'Long term monitoring and conservation management are mandated for adequate estimations of sea turtle population size, conservation status and trends. In this multidisciplinary project, a former Marie Curie postdoctoral scientist experienced in reproductive ecology of marine turtles will fuse his expertise, enhanced during his postdoctoral fellowship, with an integrated approach using state-of-the-art technological tools. The applicant will perform electronic nest monitoring, satellite tracking, molecular genetics analyses and remotely sensed oceanography to study the ecology and conservation status of marine turtles nesting populations in the Dominican Republic (DR), as a continuation of his research in the past two years. The true quality of this bid lies on two aspects: First, in its broad-reaching and integrated approach to the study of these populations of critically endangered migratory marine vertebrates; and second, in the transfer of knowledge and use of novel techniques learnt by the applicant from the team and the country where he was placed for his fellowship, to the new host institution. The scientific literature, conservationists, local and regional stakeholders in Dominican Republic, the new host institution and the applicant will all benefit immensely.'
