Description:The loggerhead is federally listed as threatened worldwide. Nesting in the United States occurs primarily along North Carolina (1.0 percent), South Carolina (6.5 percent), Georgia (1.5 percent), and Florida (91 percent) beaches and accounts for approximately one-third of the world population. Nesting trends are declining in Georgia and South Carolina, unknown in North Carolina and appear stable in Florida. Coastal development threatens nesting habitat and populations while commercial fisheries and pollution pose significant threats in the marine environment.
