The conservation and management of endangered species, including sea turtles, require
consistent long-term monitoring of productivity (eg, number of hatchlings emerged per nest …

Trends in abundance of different life stages present important opportunities to manage the
conservation of threatened species. For marine turtles, most trend assessments are based …

Sea turtles are one of the most difficult species to monitor due to their life cycle, as they
spend over 90% of their lives in the ocean. Most practices used to assess species trends are …

For decades, fisheries have been managed to limit the accidental capture of vulnerable
species and many of these populations are now rebounding. While encouraging from a …

Marine turtles may respond to projected climatic changes by shifting their nesting range to
climatically suitable areas, which may result in either increased exposure to threats or fewer …

For species reaching maturity at a range of ages or sizes, factors that influence juvenile
growth and size at maturity may have lasting impacts on overall fitness. Assessing when …

Longitudinal data sets for population abundance are essential for studies of imperiled
organisms with long life spans or migratory movements, such as marine turtles. Population …

Population declines of vertebrates are common, but rebuilding marine life may be possible.
We assessed trends in sea turtle numbers globally, building 61 time series of abundance …

Estimating population abundance is key for species of conservation concern. This is
particularly challenging for marine animals, like sea turtles, with ocean-scale distribution and …

Environmental policies, including the European Marine Strategy Framework Directive
(MSFD), generally rely on the measurement of indicators to assess the good environmental …
