Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

I want to congratulate the authors for the work. The use of new tools for the management of threatened species and as a management tool for local administrations is very interesting.
It is for all this that I recommend this work to be published

Reviewer 2 Report

The authors demonstrate the utility of UASs to survey marine megafauna and environmental data at large scales, and the importance of integrating multiple factors in climate change models to predict species distributions. The comprehensive and integrated approach used in this study showed the reliability of the data to support the conclusions and all statements. I recommend that this manuscript to be published in Molecules with minor revision.

Reviewer 4 Report

The manuscript "Incorporating geographical scale and multiple environmental factors to delineate the breeding distribution of sea turtles", authored by Liam C Dickson, presented a UAS study on mapping distribution of sea turtles. The paper is nicely written with clear description of data, methodology and results. This is an interesting paper and should yield much insights on sea turtle conservation. I appreciate that the authors not only present invaluable data from the UAS, but also combine other data to explain the underlying regulating factors. I'm happy to recommend it for publication with only a minor comment.

It might be better to add more information on how to conduct UAS surveys to map the distribution of sea turtles. Add a few real pictures might be also needed. Figure 2: put "track density" as y axis? Add explanation for different markers on b and c
