Description:

"The loggerhead turtle is commonly found within waters of the Gulf of Mexico (Hildebrand 1982; Hildebrand 1983). Nesting of this species is limited along the Gulf of Mexico coast and is considered minor except along the Florida west coast (Marquez 1990; Hildebrand 1982). Information on the pelagic distribution of this species tends to be anecdotal and limited to hatchling and small juveniles associated with ocean fronts (Marquez 1990). The distribution of adults and sub-adults is usually referred to as "coastal" (Marquez 1990; Ehrhart 1989). Hildebrand (1982) reported that turtles have been observed in association with oil platforms, rock reefs and obstructions, and "at (a) considerable distance from the coast" while feeding on Portuguese man-of war. The association between turtles and offshore oil platforms has recently been re-confirmed (Klima et al. 1988)"--Introduction, paragraph 1.
