So excellent a fishe: a global overview of legal marine turtle fisheries (2014, background): “We estimate that a minimum of 65,000 turtles have been taken illegally from Mexico since 2000 (Koch et al., 2006; Peckham et al., 2008; Mancini et al., 2011), and in Nicaragua, there is documented take of species other than the permitted green turtles (Lagueux et al., 2003).”
Measuring and Monitoring Illegal Use of Natural Resources (2010, background): “Counts of carcasses (Koch et al. 2006), snares (YomTov 2003), hunting camps (Blake et al. 2007), and blasts from dynamite fishing (Guard & Masaiganah 1997) all help examine illegal activity.”
Reducing sea turtle interactions in the Hawaii-based longline swordfish fishery (2007, background): “…disturbance of turtle nesting and foraging habitat, predation by introduced spe- cies, marine pollution and capture in other fishing gear (gillnet, purse seine, trawl) (Robins, 1995; Cheng and Chen, 1997; Bellagio Conference on Sea Turtles Steering Committee, 2004; FAO, 2004a,b; Koch et al., 2006).”
Feeding ecology of the green sea turtle (Chelonia mydas) in the Galapagos Islands (2010, background): “…overexploitation of eggs and turtles as food source and, to a lesser extent, incidental mortality related to marine fisheries and degradation of marine and nesting habitats, populations have declined throughout the world (Groombridge & Luxmoore, 1989; NMFS, 1998; Seminoff, 2004; Koch et al., 2006).”
Management strategies to mitigate the impacts of climate change on sea turtle’s terrestrial reproductive phase (2011, unknown): “During the last few decades, sea turtle numbers have declined dramatically due to over-exploitation, anthropogenic disturbances and habitat loss (Lutcavage et al. 1997; Koch et al. 2006).”
Conservation challenges for small-scale fisheries: Bycatch and habitat impacts of traps and gillnets (2011, background): “While there have been several studies worldwide on the impacts of artisanal fisheries particularly on marine turtles (e.g., Koch et al., 2006), seabirds (e.g., Morenoa et al., 2006), and mammals (e.g., Amir et al., 2002; Lopez et al., 2003), studies remain sparse that compare bycatch compositions…”
Population ecology of the green/black turtle (Chelonia mydas) in Bahía Magdalena, Mexico (2007, background): “3 cm, corroborating the dominance of juveniles in the area (Koch et al. 2006).”
