Just doing an EIA or knowing one has been done is never enough. Unless you're a box ticker. My approach? Maintaining professional integrity while working under the assumption that no one else has any. bit.ly/2Gn6wj1

Our new study shows jetties can increase the risk of turtle hatchlings being eaten, because they shelter hungry fish (read more here: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…) Australian Institute of Marine Science Parks and Wildlife Service, Western Australia UWA Pendoley_turtle Michele Thums Luciana Ferreira Ooid Scientific

Reef Fish Ecology Australian Institute of Marine Science Mark Meekan UWA Research Parks and Wildlife Service, Western Australia Pendoley_turtle The hatchling predators clearly used the jetty and high fish densities occur on jetties globally. Replicating jetties at our location is not feasible, but the results are compelling and warrant further investigation into the impacts of similar structures on turtle populations.

Reef Fish Ecology Australian Institute of Marine Science Michele Thums UWA Research Parks and Wildlife Service, Western Australia Pendoley_turtle Our jetty was 70 m whereas commercial jetties in the NW can be up to 3 km and act as defacto marine reserves because fishing is prohibited. They are also illuminated, which attracts hatchlings. The problem is likely to be replicated and magnified at these sites.
