Philippine Council for Agriculture, Aquatic and Natural Resources Research and Development(PCAARRD)

Good day!

I am Albert Hans F. Lipura, a 3rd year BS Geodetic Engineering student at the University of Southeastern Philippines- Obrero. I am currently working on a research study assessing and mapping sea turtle nesting areas in Davao City. In my study, we determined sand particle size, sand temperature, and beach slope as factors determining suitable nesting sites for sea turtles. As such, I would like to request from your good office, available data on the aforementioned factors from years 2019 to 2024.

I am hoping to hear from you soon. Thank you and God bless!
