Description:

"This document provides supplemental information to that provided in Murray (2009), which analyzed sea turtle bycatch in U.S. Mid-Atlantic sink gillnet gear during 1995 though 2006. Murray (2009) described characteristics of observed sea turtle bycatch, documented the temporal and spatial distribution of bycatch rates in the gillnet fishery, and estimated the magnitude of the average annual bycatch of loggerheads in the U.S. Mid-Atlantic sink gillnet fishery. Highest predicted bycatch rates occurred in warm waters of the southern Mid-Atlantic and in large-mesh gillnets. From 1995-2006, the average annual bycatch estimate of loggerheads was 350 turtles (C.V.= 0.20., 95% CI over the 12-year period: 234-504)"--Purpose.
