Abstract
Objectives:
1. Quantify the sub-lethal effect of debris ingestion (nutrient dilution) on nutrient gain
2. Model sub-lethal effects of debris ingestion on nutrient intake and growth
3. Evaluation of stress from entanglement on the loggerhead sea turtle
4. Movement patterns and behavior of pelagic-stage loggerheads in the eastern Atlantic
5. Document the genetic relationships of pelagic-stage loggerheads in the eastern
Atlantic with rookeries in the southeast US (Document has 14 pages; lists publications resulting from research
