Abstract

Strategies to mitigate marine turtle bycatch are impeded by many factors, including a lack of reliable information on the spatial-temporal distribution of fishing effort affecting marine turtles at different life history stages, and the numbers of turtles at risk of bycatch in different fisheries (Muir & Ngatunga, 2007). Availability of reliable data is particularly problematic for artisanal fisheries in developing countries where basic data for the number of fishers, types of gear used and species of marine turtles captured are often unreliable, unavailable, or not collected. With artisanal fisheries comprising >95% of the world’s fishers, this knowledge gap presents a major challenge to threatened species conservation and sustainable fisheries initiatives (Moore et al., 2010).
