TurtleWatch

TurtleWatch is a map providing up-to-date information about the thermal habitat of loggerhead sea turtles in the Pacific Ocean north of the Hawaiian Islands. It was created as an experimental product by Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center to help reduce inadvertent interactions between Hawaii-based longline fishing vessels and sea turtles. Derived from the best available scientific information, the TurtleWatch map displays sea surface temperature and the predicted location of waters preferred by the turtles.

Turtle Excluder Devices

Turtle excluder devices, commonly called TEDs, promote sea turtle conservation by addressing interactions between sea turtles and trawl fishing gear. These devices are made of metal bars and mesh that fit inside the neck of a trawl net. While shrimp pass between the bars to the back of the net, turtles and other larger animals bump against the metal grid and escape through a flap in the mesh.
