Abstract Sustainable Development Goal 14 of the United Nations aims to “conserve and
sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development” …

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 …

With some taxa, a reduction in the mean size of individuals may reflect over-harvesting
and/or trophy hunting. However, we show that in sea turtles, a reduction in the mean size of …

Marine turtles inhabit various coastal and marine ecosystems and play significant ecological
roles throughout their life cycles. Because of the significant overlap with other species at risk …

Although sea turtles face significant pressure from human activities, some populations are
recovering due to conservation programs, bans on the trade of turtle products, and …

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 …

Restricted range, and subsequently small population size, render Kemp's ridley sea turtles
(Lepidochelys kempii) the most globally endangered sea turtle species. For at least two …

Around the world, declines in the mean size of nesting sea turtles have been reported with
concerns of a concomitant decrease in the reproductive output of populations. Here, we …

Beach protection and monitoring has been used for about half a century to multiple
rookeries globally as an effective sea turtle conservation strategy with successful population …

The globally significant green turtle (Chelonia mydas) population in the northern Great
Barrier Reef is threatened by anthropogenic pressures, including climate change, habitat …
