Brazil Trawl-Caught Turtles Citation Availability:  This dataset is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International License.Notes: Only data aggregated per 1-degree cell are available through OBIS. For access to additional data, the provider needs to be contacted. Description The continental shelf of Southern Brazil is an important feeding ground for loggerhead sea turtles and for fishing activities. This overlap leads to a high bycatch and mortality of this endangered sea turtle. The aim of this study, with the use of satellite telemetry, are to: i) determine the spatial and temporal patterns of sea turtles distribution in the area; ii) identify preferred areas of use by immature individuals on the continental shelf; and iii) determine the influence of environmental variables such as sea surface temperature and depth on the species distribution.
