• Description:
  "This manuscript focuses on providing a preliminary estimate of the abundance of larger juvenile and adult loggerheads in a portion of the waters of the northwestern Atlantic continental shelf using aerial line-transect sightings data and telemetry data that were collected during field studies conducted in May - Sep 2010. The resulting loggerhead abundance estimate is considered preliminary and will be followed by a subsequent more thorough analysis"--Intro.
