The Ningaloo Turtle Program (NTP) is a volunteer turtle conservation program run as a partnership between the Department of Parks and Wildlife and the Cape Conservation Group. Green, loggerhead and hawksbill turtles nest in the Ningaloo World Heritage area. These are threatened species and the data collected by the NTP is used to minimize human and predator impact on their survival.

Each summer during the turtle nesting season, the NTP recruits volunteers from all over the world to carry out this task. They are trained in turtle tracking techniques, data entry and turtle rescues. Once deemed competent, volunteers each walk a section of beach at sunrise to record turtle activity.

The NTP is currently advertising for three Team Leader positions (eight weeks), and twelve volunteer team member positions (five weeks). Participation in the program may benefit you in the following way:

Learn about and interact with marine turtles Contribute to a valuable conservation program Help protect these threatened species Meet new people Develop your conservation skills
