Buried treasure—marine turtles do not ‘disguise’ or ‘camouflage’ their nests but avoid them and create a decoy trail [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science, 2020

Evidence of hawksbill turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata) depredation on fish caught in gillnets

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
Bycatch is a major global threat to marine megafauna and occurs in nearly all fishing fleets, including small-scale fisheries that use gillnets. Gillnets represent a threat to endangered air-breathing megafauna, who incidentally entangle in bottom-set ...
