Leatherback sea turtles entangled in old fishing gear are much more likely to survive if they are found quickly, according to a new study led by Dr. Kara Dodge of the New England Aquarium. The researchers analyzed data collected by entanglement response volunteers for 15 years. The goal was to better understand turtle bycatch and mortality in an effort to advise conservation efforts. #leatherbacks #seaturtles #fishingnets #seaturtleprotection #fishingnetsandseaturtlesurvival Sea Turtle Facts, Leatherback Sea Turtle, Types Of Turtles, Eastern Box Turtle, Turtle Facts, World Turtle Day, Leatherback Turtle, Big Turtle, Turtle Images
