Are coastal protected areas always effective in achieving population recovery for nesting sea turtles?

R Nel, AE Punt, GR Hughes - PloS one, 2013 - journals.plos.org
Sea turtles are highly migratory and usually dispersed, but aggregate off beaches during the
nesting season, rendering them vulnerable to coastal threats. Consequently, coastal Marine …

Untangling the impacts of nets in the southeastern Pacific: Rapid assessment of marine turtle bycatch to set conservation priorities in small-scale fisheries
