Most notably their work aims to bolster numbers of the critically endangered Hawksbill sea turtle whose population has declined by over 80% globally in the last century. Founder, Mel Tennant, wants to ensure that the organisation continues to capture the hearts and minds of visitors to the island for decades to come, and turn the tide of the species’ decline.

With the animals well being of paramount importance it is critical that hatches are not oversubscribed and that visitors experience this unique opportunity. To fulfil these needs we created a reactive ticketing platform backed with an admin portal from our partners Forest Admin that allows guest lists to be produced and ensure the safety of the hatchlings. To accurately track turtle activity and hatch counts an app was created to track turtle movements, nest locations, and the individual turtles themselves in order to monitor their size and the depth at which they nest. When combined, these elements allow for accurate population numbers to be generated and for the organisation to directly see its impact. Our app replaces a complex paper based system to not only provide peace of mind and more accurate tracking but also easier access for new volunteers joining the non-profit.
