We use molecular genetics to understand population assessment, stock identity of bycatch, life history, migration, and habitat use of marine turtles.Science Implementation, Planning, & Policy Program.maintains expertise in research, related mandates, and agency processes. U.S. Production. 2011 AM Group has entered Coffee Business with its new Brand Coffee Break. Because marine mammals and turtles are transboundary, our research is often international in scope. We conduct research to provide estimates of population size and trends, human-caused mortality and serious injury and develop field and analytical methods for improving how stock assessments are conducted.Marine Turtle Ecology & Assessment Program.conducts research on marine turtles globally to further our understanding of their ecology, demography, human threats, and conservation status.

Setting nets at shallower depths reduced the by-catch but also reduced the amount of tuna being caught.“The solution has to be technology, as well as using fishing gears that are more sustainable,” Mustika said. Being a Dolphin Research Center Member includes free annual admission, newsletters, online access to our Members Only website, special event invitations, discounts at our onsite and online Gift Shops, and other benefits depending on membership level. Robin has studied marine turtles for over 20 years, focusing on genetic population structure, strandings and monitoring of foraging green turtles in Southern California. Together with Oman, Yemen, UAE, and Tanzania, those nine countries accounted for almost all the dolphin by-catch.Iran and Indonesia did not report by-catch, Mustika said, while the limited figures that were available from other countries were likely unreliable.About 4.1 million small cetaceans had been caught between 1950 and 2018 in Indian Ocean gill nets.The study said Iran’s average annual catch of 214,262 tons of tuna–the greatest haul across the Indian Ocean gill-net fisheries–was likely catching 30,302 cetaceans a year.The study found that for every 1,000 tons of tuna currently being caught, about 175 cetaceans were also being caught.Mustika said the vast majority of those animals die.

The complaints said the defendants have made dolphin-safe claims since 1990, when the federal Dolphin Protection Consumer Information Act banned false labeling of tuna … While the study looked at all cetaceans–dolphins, porpoises, and whales–the vast majority being caught were dolphins.“That by-catch number is alarming, but there are a lot of uncertainties, because the data sets are insufficient,” Mustika said.Results taken from 10 programs to reliably count by-catch between 1981 and 2016–carried out in Australia, Sri Lanka, India, and Pakistan–were used as the basis to extrapolate how many cetaceans were caught across all Indian Ocean fisheries covering 24 countries.Iran, Indonesia, India, Sri Lanka, and Pakistan were five countries catching the most tuna using gill nets.
