Movement patterns and marine habitat associations of juvenile loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta) in the southwestern Atlantic Ocean

Creator:

Barceló, Caren

Abstract:

Bycatch, or the incidental capture of non-target species, has been implicated as one of the main factors leading to population declines of many large marine vertebrates, including sea turtles. To effectively manage and conserve these long-lived species, their marine distribution, high use areas, foraging habitats, and regions of highest likelihood...

Defining habitat preferences of pelagic loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta) in the North Atlantic through analysis of behavior and bycatch

Creator:

McCarthy, Abigail L.

Abstract:

For many species of marine turtle the characteristics that define pelagic habitat have yet to be fully identified. A better understanding of these habitat characteristics is critical to reduce high seas fisheries interactions with turtles, especially as the status of many turtle populations has placed them on the threatened or...

Evaluation of length distributions and growth variance to improve assessment of the loggerhead sea turtle, (Caretta caretta)

Creator:

Vaughan, Jason R.

Abstract:

Nest counts from the largest subpopulation of the loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta) in the Atlantic, peninsular Florida, have been declining since 1998. Analyzing trends of nests and adult females is insufficient to determine the overall status of a sea turtle population, due to variation in nesting frequency and a...
