| Additional information |
The leatherback is the largest turtle species alive, capable of crossing entire ocean basins and diving deeper than most marine mammals — yet its hatchlings face mortality rates that can exceed 99% before reaching adulthood. Australia's north Queensland and northern territory coastlines host nesting sites of genuine conservation significance, and the species' IUCN vulnerable status has driven sustained federal protection efforts since the late 1980s.
