Sea-Turtle Status and Trends
Integrating Demography and Abundance
Publisher Description
All six species of sea turtles found in U.S. waters are listed as endangered or threatened, but the exact population sizes of these species are unknown due to a lack of key information regarding birth and survival rates. The U.S. Endangered Species Act prohibits the hunting of sea turtles and reduces incidental losses from activities such as shrimp trawling and development on beaches used for nesting. However, current monitoring does not provide enough information on sea turtle populations to evaluate the effectiveness of these protective measures. This interactive summary of a National Research Council report will provide more information on sea turtle population assessment and its challenges.
