The network encompasses the coastal areas of the eighteen state region from Maine through Texas, and includes portions of the U.S. Caribbean. Data are compiled through the efforts of network participants who document marine turtle strandings in their respective areas and contribute those data to the centralized STSSN data base. Using the online reports, one can obtain basic summarized stranding information for the years 1980 to present. 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. To monitor marine turtle strandings along the Gulf and East Coasts of the U.S. and in portions of the U.S. Caribbean. underDevelopment Sasso, Chris 305-361-4279 305-361-4478 75 Va Beach DR Miami FL 33149 chris.sasso@noaa.gov Contact by email preferred. pointOfContact Teas, Wendy G 305-361-4595 305-361-4478 75 Virginia Beach Dr Miami FL 33149 wendy.teas@noaa.gov Contact by email preferred. custodian DOC/NOAA/NMFS/SEFSC > Southeast Fisheries Science Center, National Marine Fisheries Service, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce dataCentre Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Data Center Keywords 2017-04-24 publication 8.5 Earth Science Data and Information System, Earth Science Projects Division, Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) https://forum.earthdata.nasa.gov/app.php/tag/GCMD%2BKeywords GCMD Keyword Forum Page Global Change Master Directory (GCMD). 2025.
