The SWFSC proposes to conduct
research on leatherback sea turtles to
continue long-term monitoring of their
status off the coasts of California,
Oregon, and Washington. This purpose
of the work is to identify critical forage
habitats, genetic stock structure,
migratory corridors, and potential
fishery impacts for leatherbacks. Up to
55 sea turtles would be located annually
through aerial surveys and subsequently
approached from a research vessel for
remote tissue sampling and attachment
of a suction-cup transmitter. After tag
attachment a subset of the animals
would be captured by breakaway
hoopnet for additional research
