Pacific leatherback turtles face extinction
Fisheries can help avert the alarming decline in population of these ancient reptiles. The dwindling numbers of leatherback turtles are signalling a threat to biodiversity in the oceans. A mathematical model based on our assessment of a once-large leatherback population predicts that unsustainable adult mortality, apparently due to human fishing activity, will soon drive this population to extinction.
