This data was used to determine relative abundance, temporal and spatial distributions, movements, habitat requirements, feeding habits, and sex ratios of immature sea turtles in the nearshore waters of West Florida. Research efforts focus on the highly endangered Kemps Ridley turtle, but other turtle species were opportunistically collected during routine sampling operations. This dataset is available to the public for a wide variety of uses including scientific research and analysis.
