• So excellent a fishe: a global overview of legal marine turtle fisheries (2014, background): “This study has shown that the relative impact of legal take on mortality could be less than the bycatch estimates from the Mediterranean alone (Casale, 2011).”
• Mediterranean sea turtles: current knowledge and priorities for conservation and research (2018, unknown): “Sea turtles are at high risk from SSF and this fishery may be responsible for most of the fishing-induced mortality in the Mediterranean (Carreras et al. 2004, Echwikhi et al. 2010, 2012, Casale 2011, Coelho et al. 2013).”
• Reducing green turtle bycatch in small-scale fisheries using illuminated gillnets: the cost of saving a sea turtle (2016, background): “…along the eastern seaboard of the USA (Gearhart 2003), along the Pacific coast of Mexico (Peckham et al. 2007), within the Mediterranean (Echwikhi et al. 2010, Casale 2011, Snape et al. 2013) and in the Carib bean (Lum 2006) have been shown to have high rates of interactions with sea turtles.”
• Migratory corridors and foraging hotspots: critical habitats identified for Mediterranean green turtles (2015, background): “Within the Mediterranean, the magnitude of marine turtle bycatch is considered unsustainable (Casale, 2011) and warrants urgent conservation action (Wallace et al.”
• Fine-scale distribution of juvenile Atlantic and Mediterranean loggerhead turtles (Caretta caretta) in the Mediterranean Sea (2014, background): “Bycatch of juvenile turtles at their foraging grounds is one of the most significant anthropogenic threats for sea turtles in the Mediterranean Sea, with over 132,000 annual captures estimated in the area (Casale and Margaritoulis 2010; Casale 2011).”
• Movement patterns of marine turtles in the Mediterranean Sea: a review (2014, background): “The main identified threats at sea to these two Mediterranean populations are incidental catch in fishing gear, collision with boats and intentional killing (Tomás et al. 2008; Casale et al. 2010; Casale 2011), which as a whole represent a high level of threat (Wallace et al. 2011).”
• Are we working towards global research priorities for management and conservation of sea turtles (2016, background): “There is increasing evidence that passive net fisheries, drift nets in particular, are a major threat for sea turtles in many ocean regions around the world (e.g. Gilman et al. 2010, Casale 2011, Wang et al. 2013a, Wilcox et al. 2013, Girard et al. 2014, Ayissi et al. 2015, Ortiz et al. 2016).”
