Abstract:
Sea turtles emerged around 110 million years ago. At their peak there were four families of them, each with several dozen species. Today, only two families survive. Amanda Southwood, a sea turtle researcher at the University of North Carolina at Wilmington, received a North Carolina Fishery Resource Grant in 2006 to study sea turtle movements. The turtles studied are those that have become entangled in fishing nets in the lower Cape Fear River then released. Without satellite and high-frequency tags to track the turtles, there is no way to know if the released animal survived or not.

Abstract:
Information is presented on the occurrence of five species of marine turtles in North Carolina waters. The leatherback and loggerhead sea turtles, the two most commonly occurring species, are emphasized. Unpublished records indicate that the leatherback typically occurs in North Carolina throughout the warmer months in relatively shallow shelf waters, and may not be an open-ocean wanderer.
