## Facts

| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Description | This cluster of papers focuses on the conservation and management of marine turtles worldwide, with an emphasis on understanding the impacts of fisheries bycatch, satellite tracking, climate change, nesting habitat, population dynamics, sea-level rise, thermal conditions, and genetic structure. The research priorities include informing global conservation efforts and addressing the threats faced by marine turtle populations. |
