A new study published in Conservation Letters<\/a>\u00a0provides the first global perspective of fisheries bycatch for marine turtles.<\/p>\n

According to the study, which is based on data collected\u00a0across all methods of fishing around the world from 1990-2008,\u00a0the total reported bycatch over the same period was approximately 85,0000 sea turtles. The authors acknowledge that, due to\u00a0under reporting in smallscale fisheries,\u00a0the actual number is likely higher.
