* » Abstract |
Scientists in the Sea Turtle Program of the Southeast Fisheries Science Center implement research to support the conservation and recovery of threatened and endangered sea turtle species by conducting population assessments; research on stock structure (age and genetics); assessments of sea turtle mortality, strandings, and unusual events |
* Purpose |
The Sea Turtle Stranding and Salvage Network (STSSN) was formally established in 1980 to collect information on and document strandings of marine turtles along the U.S. Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic coasts. The network encompasses the coastal areas of the eighteen state region from Maine through Texas, and includes portions of the U.S. Caribbean. Using the online reports, one can obtain basic summarized stranding information for the years 1998 thru 2001. Additional years will be added once available. Queries can include Year, Month, Region, Zone, State, County, and Species. The data used to generate the reports have been verified, however they are subject to change if additional data are received |
Notes |
Queries may include Year, Month, Region, Zone, State, County, and species. |

Glossary Terms and Definitions
Term | What Are True Strandings |
---|---|
Authority | |
Description |
True strandings are defined as turtles which wash ashore dead or alive, or are found floating dead or alive (generally in a weakened condition). Other reports received are not included in these reports. Headstarted turtles are hatched and raised in captivity for approximately one year before being tagged and released. Strandings of headstarted turtles are excluded because they may represent a bias if their stranding was an artifact of captive rearing and release. Reports of incidentally captured turtles, posthatchlings and live sighting reports are not included in this report as these records are not considered to be true strandings. |
