Introduction

In this chapter, we describe how green sea turtles that inhabit a high-predator seagrass landscape respond to experimentally added structure to their habitat with an intensive grazing strategy. This behaviour suggests that sea turtles have risk-related grazing behaviour.

Measurements and data collection

The videofiles that are part of this chapter were taken with drone technology (DJI Phantom 3) to capture green turtle densities and grazing behaviour
