Development of the waterproof enclosure for tracking system PitStop
master's thesis
Abstract
The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species classifies six out of seven species of sea turtle as Threatened. Different tagging systems are being used to better protect and conserve the sea turtles and their habitats with the data gathered being essential to design better conservation strategies.
Tagging sea turtles can be quite expensive using the proprietary commercial tags. The aim of this project was to develop a reliable and affordable tracking system PitStop for monitoring threatened sea turtles. Different designs, materials and sealing methods were proposed and tested to find the optimal solution considering the performance, reliability and costs.

| Secondary title: | Razvoj vodotesnega ohišja za sledilni sistem PitStop |
| Secondary abstract: | Rdeči seznam ogroženih rastlinskih in živalskih vrst IUCN klasificira šest od sedmih vrst morskih želv kot ogrožene. V uporabi so različni načini označevanja in sledenja, ki pomagajo pri boljši zaščiti in varovanju morskih želv in njihovega naravnega okolja, zbrani podatki pa so ključni za načrtovanje boljših strategij za njihovo ohranitev. Označevanje morskih želv s komercialno dostopnimi sledilniki je precej drago. Cilj tega projekta je bil razvoj vodotesnega ohišja za zanesljiv in cenovno dostopen sledilni sistem PitStop za sledenje ogroženim morskim želvam. Predlaganih in preizkušenih je bilo več možnih konstrukcij, več različnih materialov ter načinov tesnjenja z namenom najti najbolj optimalno rešitev ob upoštevanju učinkovitosti, zanesljivosti ter stroškov. |
