Global sea turtle conservation successes
We document a tendency for published estimates of population size in sea turtles to be increasing rather than decreasing across the globe. To examine the population status of the seven species of sea turtle globally, we obtained 299 time series of annual nesting abundance with a total of 4417 annual estimates. The time series ranged in length from 6 to 47 years (mean, 16.2 years). When levels o...
متن کاملRealignment of sea turtle isotope studies needed to match conservation priorities
Stable isotope analyses have become popular in sea turtle literature over the past decade, with an increasing year-to-year trend in published studies reporting insights into food web structure, diet, trophic interactions, ontogenetic shifts, geographic distributions, and more. Understanding the geographic distribution of migrating taxa within their sub-populations could enhance conservation and...
متن کاملEvaluating Strategies to Promots Sea Turtle Conservation
Like many sea turtles worldwide (Figure 1), loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta) populations are declining by approximately three percent annually and the species is currently provided federally threatened status. Two potentially beneficial strategies could boost loggerhead populations. First, conservation groups have successfully limited access to beaches during the time when females lay th...
متن کاملSetting Priorities for Regional Conservation Planning in the Mediterranean Sea
Spatial prioritization in conservation is required to direct limited resources to where actions are most urgently needed and most likely to produce effective conservation outcomes. In an effort to advance the protection of a highly threatened hotspot of marine biodiversity, the Mediterranean Sea, multiple spatial conservation plans have been developed in recent years. Here, we review and integr...
متن کاملNineteenth Annual Symposium on Sea Turtle Conservation and Biology
Olive ridley sea turtles, Lepidochelys olivacea, found in the Indian Ocean and its bay islands are highly vulnerable from various threats. At Gahirmatha in Orissa state, India, the olive ridleys have their largest rookery (mass nesting). Every year around February, the breeding populations migrate from the Indian Ocean to the mass nesting sites after travelling from the coastal waters of Tamiln...
