We assessed 21 trace metals in green turtle scute and red blood cell samples collected find evidence that green turtle TM concentrations can differ between urbanized habitats and that long-term monitoring of these green turtles may be necessary.
We estimate sea turtle densities, and describe trends based on sea turtle observations from 13 years of towed-diver surveys covering 7,300+ linear km, and more than 3,400 green and hawksbill sea turtles.
New information on growth spurts and the potential impact on estimates of lifetime growth rate and age at first reproduction for the Hawaiian population of green sea turtles.
