Distribution Models Reveal Important Coastal Habitats for Endangered Leatherback Sea Turtles

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim With the development and operation of offshore wind farms along the United States East Coast, it is imperative that we understand the distributions of vulnerable species so we can track and predict potential interactions. We focused on leatherback sea turtles (Dermochelys coriacea) as they depend on this region for important stages of ...
