Sea turtle strandings along the Northwestern Moroccan coast: Spatio-temporal distribution and main threats
We present the first research carried out on a large spatio-temporal scale (324 km) on sea
turtle strandings during a 24-year period (1998–2022) in northwestern Morocco. A total of …

Informing research priorities for immature sea turtles through expert elicitation
Although sea turtles have received substantial focus worldwide, research on the immature
life stages is still relatively limited. The latter is of particular importance, given that a large …

Sporadic nesting reveals long distance colonisation in the philopatric loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta)
The colonisation of new suitable habitats is crucial for species survival at evolutionary scale
under changing environmental conditions. However, colonisation potential may be limited …

Assessing the use of marine protected areas by loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta) tracked from the western Mediterranean
Abstract Up to date 264 Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) have been declared in the western
Mediterranean Sea. The management plans of 25 of these MPAs include the loggerhead …
