Abstract

Ideally, to optimize available resources to reduce the incidental mortality of sea turtles, fisheries managers must identify which fisheries or fishing methods have the most significant impacts on sea turtle populations. This invovles determining, with an acceptable level of precision, the level of incidental mortality in all relevant fisheries. In this chapter we discuss the challenges to achieve this objective and identify opportunities for reducing fishery impacts to sea turtles in the eastern Pacific and beyond.
