NOAA Fisheries conducts research on the biology, behavior, and ecology of the hawksbill sea turtle. The results of this research are used to inform management decisions and enhance recovery efforts for the species.
Hawksbill turtles can take decades to reach adulthood, so threats to adult hawksbills merit special recognition. Only adults can reproduce to maintain and grow the population. Four nesting adult hawksbills died after falling into large volcanic fissures on the southern coast of Hawaiʻi Island.
A team of NOAA researchers and collaborators recently shed light on the small population of endangered hawksbill sea turtles in Hawaiʻi. Their study revealed that most Hawaiian hawksbills spend their entire lives within the archipelago, making them true Hawaiʻi locals.
NOAA Fisheries announces the availability of recovery plans for U.S. Pacific and U.S. Caribbean, Atlantic, and Gulf of Mexico populations of hawksbill sea turtles.
Map and GIS data representing critical habitat for the conservation of endangered hawksbill turtles in the U.S. Caribbean.
Pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (ESA), NMFS is designating critical habitat for the threatened green sea turtle (Chelonia mydas) to include coastal waters surrounding Culebra Island, Puerto Rico, and the endangered hawksbill sea turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata) to include coastal waters surrounding Mona and Monito Islands, Puerto ...
Rookery contributions, movements and conservation needs of hawksbill turtles at foraging grounds in the eastern Pacific Ocean. Marine Ecology Progress Series 586: 203–216.
The scarcity of data on basic hawksbill ecology continues to hinder effective management of the species. We analyzed stranding data collected between 1984 and 2018 to gain insights into the distribution, demography, and conservation challenges facing hawksbills in Hawaiʻi.
We, NOAA Fisheries, announce the availability of the 5-year review for hawksbill sea turtles.
