Most of its body is a bright silvery blue, while a richer navy…

Sea turtles are among the most extraordinary, charismatic and fascinating creatures, and are some of the world’s greatest nomads, sometimes navigating thousands of miles between feeding and nesting grounds. They are long-lived animals, having a complex life history, low reproductive capacity due to high juvenile mortality rates, and they travel long distances and thus encounter many fishing operations, making them vulnerable to overexploitation and fishing mortality (Spotila, 2004). Five…
