Creating new location ID

What Wildbook should this feature be in?

Internet of Turtles

What would you like to see?

Addition of a new specific nesting location (Ras Baridi) to the location hierarchy.

How would this functionality help you?

Adding Ras Baridi as a distinct location will allow accurate tagging, organization, and analysis of sea turtle records from the largest green turtle nesting beach in the Saudi Arabian Red Sea. This will enable long-term population monitoring, individual identification, and regional comparisons, and will support research and conservation planning in an under-represented region.

If requesting a new location ID, include

  • Is this is nested beneath another location in the hierarchy?
  • Yes. Suggested hierarchy:

Red Sea

↳ Saudi Red Sea

↳ Ras Baridi

  • Is there a prefix for region-based naming? (optional)
  • KSA-RB
  • GPS coordinates in decimal format (optional)
  • 24.254205, 37.572626

Note: Not all feature requests can be accepted, but all of them are reviewed by our product team. We’re unable to provide implementation timelines for accepted requests. We are a small team with many competing priorities. Thanks for your understanding!

I’ve updated the locations in IoT with a minor change: I changed “Saudi Red Sea” to “Saudi Arabia” to maintain the Body of water > Country > City hierarchy.
