Pelagic longline, shark bottom longline, and driftnet observer data relating to the incidental capture of sea turtles during fishing activity are used in bycatch reports, sea turtle life history research, bycatch mitigation research, and for management purposes. Observed interaction data are for use in bycatch reports, sea turtle life history research, bycatch mitigation research, peer reviewed publication, and management purposes. underDevelopment Stokes, Lesley 305-361-4228 75 Virginia Beach Drive Miami FL 33139 Lesley.Stokes@noaa.gov 8:00 AM - 4:30 PM EST/EST pointOfContact Sasso, Chris 305-361-4279 305-361-4478 75 Va Beach DR Miami FL 33149 chris.sasso@noaa.gov Contact by email preferred. pointOfContact Sasso, Chris 305-361-4279 305-361-4478 75 Va Beach DR Miami FL 33149 chris.sasso@noaa.gov custodian Stokes, Lesley 305-361-4228 75 Virginia Beach Drive Miami FL 33139 Lesley.Stokes@noaa.gov 8:00 AM - 4:30 PM EST/EST Contact by email preferred. custodian asNeeded Highly Migratory Species observer protected species interactions turtles theme Gulf of mexico atlantic carribean place 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.
