Abstract

Fisheries related bycatch has been, and will likely continue to be, regarded as one of the main impacts on marine turtle populations. As such, it remains a critical issue worthy of attention (see Hamann et al., 2010). In particular there is growing concern that, collectively, small-scale coastal fisheries are one of the most significant threats to some marine turtle species or populations. Similar to other fisheries, understanding and mitigating bycatch from coastal net fisheries is problematic because in addition to the variable ecological components there are significant social and economic issues that need to be considered. This is especially the case in developing nations where fishers are often in the lower social-economic grouping.
