Abstract:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Marine turtles have complex life cycles,
and use both the terrestrial and marine environment, where
they are exposed to multiple threats (e.g., coastal
development, fisheries, climate change) across their
different life stages. These threats ultimately affect
marine turtle reproductive output, numbers, and population
stability. As a result of these threats, some populations
of marine turtles have been dramatically reduced and are now
threatened. This presentation will highlight several
research projects being conducted to quantify some of the
most pressing threats to marine turtles as well as describe
different systematic conservation planning approaches used
to mitigate threats. Approaches presented can be applied to
other marine taxa and systems.<o:p></o:p></p>
