Journal ArticleDOI
Fishing methods to reduce sea turtle mortality associated with pelagic longlines
TL;DR: Changes in hook design and bait type were investigated as measures to reduce the bycatch of sea turtles on pelagic longlines in the western North Atlantic Ocean.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: All lines of evidence supported the hypothesis of juvenile homing in loggerhead turtles, and mixed stock analyses indicated that juveniles occurred at elevated frequency in the vicinity of their natal rookery.
Journal Article

Sheryan P. Epperly,J. Braun,A. J. Chester,F. A. Cross,J. V. Merriner,Patricia A. Tester,J. H. Churchill +6 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that turtle strandings during the winter on the northern beaches of North Carolina are a poor indicator of at-sea mortalities, and that they may not be entirely related to the winter trawl fishery for summer flounder.
