About
The purpose of this project is given an image of a sea turtle plastron, allow the user to quantify the relative amount of softness or dekeratinized area. The rationale for this analysis is to test the hypothesis that the amount of relative deketatinization is proportional to the reproductive activity of male sea turtles. Knowing the number of adult male sea turtles that are sexually active throughout the course of the nesting season is likely to improve models of population dynamics and subsequent conservation policies.
