Seasonal capture efforts were conducted to evaluate patterns of catch rates, species and size compisition. Acoustic and satellite telemetry were used to evaluate residency, movements, and dive behavior. AUV-borne sidescan sonar surveys were conducted at the peak of sea turtle abundance on the spring.
To characterize a sea turtle population in a small gegraphic area that seasonally experiences very high densities and evaluate effectiveness of AUV-borne sidescan sonar for sea turtle surveys
