Abudance of Loggerhead Sea Turtles in Cape Canaveral Ship Channel: Research Information Report to Support DSEIS on Endangered and Threatened Species of Sea Turtles, 1981

摘要

Sea turtles have been shown to be abundant in the Cape Canaveral Ship Channel on the east-center of the Florida Coast in recent years. These turtles were primarily Loggerheads (99.7%). Based on the research trawling stations made by the Sea Turtle Stock and Habitat Survey Project, the estimated mean number of sea turtles at any point in time, was calculated by month and for each channel position.
