Aboriginal harvest of the northern long-necked turtle -- modelling population dynamics in support of a sustainable industry.

Bawinanga土著公司希望创造就业机会，既加强传统的土著价值观，又实现经济自给自足。我们将使用实验的方法来模拟人口的影响土著收获的人口动态的北方长颈龟。该项目将在研究长寿海龟物种对捕捞的密度依赖性反应方面开辟新天地。该项目还将协助土著农村社区决定成虫和卵的收获水平，以支持当地产业，确保其在生态和经济上都是可持续的。

The Bawinanga Aboriginal Corporation wishes to establish employment opportunities that both strengthen traditional Aboriginal values and lead to economic self-sufficiency. We will use experimental approaches to model the demographic impact of Aboriginal harvest on the population dynamics of the northern long-necked turtle. The project will break new ground in studying density-dependent responses to harvest in a long-lived turtle species. The project will also assist the Aboriginal rural community to decide the level of adult and egg harvest in support of a local industry to ensure that it is both ecologically and economically sustainable.
