Interannual Differences for Sea Turtles Bycatch in Spanish Longliners from Western Mediterranean Sea
The Scientific World Journal, 2014 Recent studies showed that regional abundance of loggerhead and leatherback turtles could oscillate interannually according to oceanographic and climatic conditions. The Western Mediterranean is an important fishing area for the Spanish drifting longline

Are coastal protected areas always effective in achieving population recovery for nesting sea turtles? [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Sea turtles are highly migratory and usually dispersed, but aggregate off beaches during the nesting season, rendering them vulnerable to coastal threats.

Evaluating potential tagging effects on leatherback sea turtles [PDF]
Endangered Species Research, 2008 Although the use of satellite tracking to study the leatherback sea turtle Dermochelys coriacea continues to increase, there has been little inquiry into the effects of this research. We inves- tigated effects of handling and tagging on leatherbacks using state-space estimated positions from 42 turtles satellite-tagged at sea.

Sea Turtle Bycatch Mitigation in U.S. Longline Fisheries
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2017 Capture of sea turtles in longline fisheries has been implicated in population declines of loggerhead (Caretta caretta) and leatherback (Dermochelys coriacea) turtles. Since 2004, United States (U.S.) longline vessels targeting swordfish and tunas in the

Current transport of leatherback sea turtles ( Dermochelys coriacea ) in the ocean [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences, 2003 While the long-distance movements of pelagic vertebrates are becoming known thanks to satellite telemetry, the factors determining their courses have hardly been investigated. We have analysed the effects of oceanographic factors on the post-nesting movements of three satellite-tracked leatherback turtles (Dermochelys coriacea) moving in the southwest ...
