Preliminary summer 2010 regional abundance estimate of loggerhead turtles (Caretta caretta) in northwestern Atlantic Ocean continental shelf waters Regional abundance estimate of loggerhead turtles (Caretta caretta) in northwestern Atlantic Ocean continental shelf waters

"This manuscript focuses on providing a preliminary estimate of the abundance of larger juvenile and adult loggerheads in a portion of the waters of the northwestern Atlantic continental shelf using aerial line-transect sightings data and telemetry data that were collected during field studies conducted in May - Sep 2010. The resulting loggerhead abundance estimate is considered preliminary and will be followed by a subsequent more thorough analysis"--Intro. by the Northeast Fisheries Science Center and the Southeast Fisheries Science Center.
