Item CAPTURA INCIDENTAL DE TORTUGAS MARINAS POR LAS FLOTAS DE PALANGRE PELÁGICO DE BRASIL Y URUGUAY (1998 - 2010)(2014) GIFFONI, Bruno; LEITE JUNIOR, Nilamon; MILLER, Philip; PONS, Maite; SALES, Gilberto; DOMINGO, AndrésSea turtles are highly migratory species and during their long life cycle they face different threats. One of the biggest threats is the incidental captures by fisheries, thus longline fisheries has been pointed out as a great concern due to the high capture rates. This work summarizes the incidental capture of sea turtles by Brazilian and Uruguayan longline fleet, taking account different aspects to be considered in sea turtles productivity and susceptibility analyses - PSA. The data analyzed were collected by observers of the Programa Nacional de Observadores a Bordo de la Flota Atunera Uruguaya (PNOFA) from Uruguay, and the Programa Nacional de Observadores de Bordo da Frota Pesqueira do Brasil (PROBORDO), Fundação Pró-TAMAR, Instituto ALBATROZ and Núcleo de Educação e Monitoramento Ambiental (NEMA) from Brazil. A total of 25,164.089 hooks were sampled by Brazil and Uruguay between 2008 and 2010. On average, the sampled effort represented 1,5% of total effort applied at the same area by ICCAT CPCs. Loggerhead was the species most captured (n = 6.594), followed by Leatherback (n = 1.379) and Olive ridley (n = 600). All species nest in Brazil. Regarding productivity aspects, the Brazilian population of loggerhead, leatherback and Olive ridley are increasing. For the susceptibility analyses and considering availability, seven different RMUs are being impacted by longline. As regards encounterability, the three turtle species spent most of the time at the same depth range as Brazilian and Uruguayan longline toward to catch swordfish. For selectivity, juveniles of the loggerhead turtle are the most captured, while for Olive ridley and leatherback, sub-adult and adult have been most captured by longline fleet for both countries.Item Anthropogenic threats to the sea turtle populations along the brazilian coast(2011-05) Baptistotte, C.; Lopez, G.; Reith, Denise; Santos, M. R. D.; Boldrin, M. A.; Werneck, M. R.; Becker, H.; Goldberg, D. W.; Stahelin, G. D.; Marcovaldi, M. A.; Píres, T.Post mortem examination is an important tool in sea turtle diseases investigation and its relation to anthropogenic stressors. In order to identify the possible causes of sea turtles strandings, Projeto TAMAR-ICMBio conducts necropsies at its research stations along the brazilian coast. Moreover, TAMAR has developed research agreements through veterinary universities research programs to allow more accurate diagnostics. In this study, we analyze results from 989 necropsies performed at TAMAR Stations in Bahia, Espírito Santo, São Paulo and Santa Catarina States (Figure 1), from January 2009 to May 2011.Item Captura incidental de tortugas marinas por las flotas de palangre pelágico de Brasil y Uruguay (1998 - 2010)(2014) GIFFONI, B.; LEITE JR, N.; MILLER, P.; PONS, M.; SALES, G.; DOMINGO, A.Sea turtles are highly migratory species and during their long life cycle they are face to different threats.

To inform the con servation of species of conservation concern there is the need to assess whether existing and proposed MPA designs provide protection to these species. For this, information on species spatial distribution and exposure to threats is necessary. However, this information if often lacking, particularly for mobile migratory species, such as marine turtles. To highlight the importance of this information when designing MPAs and for assessments of their effectiveness, we identified high use areas of post-nesting hawksbill turtles (Eretmochelys imbricata) in Brazil as a case study and assessed the effectiveness of Brazilian MPAs to protect important habitat for this group based on exposure to threats. Most (88%) of high use areas were found to be exposed to threats (78% to artisanal fishery and 76.7% to marine traffic), where 88.1% were not protected by MPAs, for which 86% are exposed to threats. This mismatch is driven by a lack of explicit conservation goals and targets for turtles in MPA management plans, limited spatial information on species' distribution and threats, and a mismatch in the scale of conservation initiatives. To inform future assessments and design of MPAs for species of conservation concern we suggest that managers: clearly state and make their goals and targets tangible, consider ecological scales instead of political boundaries, and use adaptative management as new information become available.Item HOPPER DREDGING(2015) GOLDBERG, D.W; ALMEIDA, D.T; TOGNIN, F.; LOPEZ, G.G; PIZETTA, G.T; JUNIOR, N.O.L; SFORZA, R.- Not just another mixed stock analysis: green turtles of Espírito Santo, Brazil.(2010) NARO-MACIEL, E; MARTIN, M; BONDIOLI, A. C. V; ALMEIDA, A. P; TOREZANI, E; BAPTISTOTTE, C; MARCOVALDI, M. A; AMATO, G; DE SALLE, RIn the Southwestern Atlantic Ocean, sea turtles are exposed to myriad threats including disease, fisheries bycatch, and industrial or coastal development, but protected by effective conservation organizations. In Espirito Santo, Brazil, green turtles (Chelonia mydas) with relatively high incidence of fibropapillomatosis tumors routinely strand in the vicinity of the state capital, Vitória, a highly urbanized area that encompasses the effluent discharge channel of a local steel plant. This is also a particularly interesting population because of its relative proximity to the regionally important Trindade Island rookery, whose feeding grounds have not been convincingly identified to date. To investigate the population distribution of the at-risk turtles, we sequenced a segment of the mitochondrial control region (862 bp; n = 132). Eight mtDNA haplotypes were revealed, of which the most common were CMA-08 and CMA-05. Haplotypes CMA-06 and CMA-09 were each found in six individuals, and rare haplotypes CMA-03, CMA-10, CMA-23, and CMA-32 were also detected. Two kinds of "many-to-many" mixed stock analyses were carried out, taking into account or alternately disregarding source nesting population size. The same approach was taken with traditional MSAS ("one-to-many"), and the main differences between the "one-to-many" and "many-to-many" results are reported. The analyses that included population size and all available data were most consistent with expectations. We recommend caution when employing different mixed stock analysis methods, and emphasize the importance of exploring alternate ways of investigating the origins of mixed stocks, including modeling approaches. These data will provide insight into population isolation and conservation priorities necessary to establish whether areas should be managed as independent units or as regional populations, and will clarify questions of scale in conservation and management, providing a scientific basis for conservation prioritization.
Item Effectiveness and design of marine protected areas for migratory species of conservation concern: A case study of post-nesting hawksbill turtles in Brazil(2021-06-21) SANTOS, A.J.B.; BELLINI, C.; SANTOS, E.A.P.; SALES, G.; RAMOS, R.; VIEIRA, D.H.G; MARCOVALDI, M.A.; GILLIS, A.; WILDERMANN, N.; MILLS, M.; GANDRA, T.; FUENTES, M.M.P.B.Marine protected areas (MPAs) are among the most widely used strategy to protect marine ecosystems and are typically designed to protect specific habitats rather than a single and/or multiple species.

C. A; BAPTISTOTTE, C; MOREIRA, L. M. P; SCALFONI, J. T; ALMEIDA, A. P; RIETH, D. B; BARATA, P. C. RIn Brazil, the only area where regular leatherback sea turtle (Dermochelys coriacea) nesting is known to occur is located on the northern coast of the state of Espı´rito Santo, around latitude 198S. In this study, we present the field methods used by Projeto TAMAR-IBAMA (the Brazilian Sea Turtle Conservation Program) in the state of Espı´rito Santo and analyze data on leatherback nesting from 1988–1989 to 2003–2004. In that period, 527 nests were observed in the study area. The annual number of nests varied between 6 (in 1993–1994) and 92 (in 2002–2003). Between 1995–1996 and 2003–2004, the annual number of nests increased at about 20.4% per year on average. Among the 527 clutches observed, 358 (67.9%) were left in situ, 50 (9.5%) were relocated to another spot on the beach, 88 (16.7%) were relocated to open-air beach hatcheries, and 31 clutches (5.9%) did not have their management decision recorded. Curved carapace length of nesting females was in the range of 139–182 cm (mean ¼ 159.8 cm). At present, there is no significant alteration of the nesting habitat in Espı´rito Santo, egg poaching has been reduced to very low levels, and there is no subsistence hunting for sea turtles of any species. The main challenges to leatherback conservation currently are the incidental capture in artisanal fisheries operating close to nesting beaches and in high seas fisheries operating in the South Atlantic, as well as activities related to the oil industry. An overview of Projeto TAMAR’s actions addressing current sea turtle conservation issues in the State of Espı´rito Santo is presented.
- Sea turtle feeding grounds of Brazil.(1998) MARCOVALDI, M. Â; SILVA, A. C. C. D. da; GALLO, B. M. G; BAPTISTOTTE, C; VIEITAS, C. F; BELLINI, C; LIA, E. H. S. M; CASTILHOS, J. C. de; THOMÉ, J. C. A; SANCHES, T. M
Item Reducing threats to turtles.(1999) MARCOVALDI, M. Â. G. dei; THOMÉ, J. C. A.; ECKERT, K. L; DONNELLY. M; ABREU-GROBOIS, F. A; BJORNDAL, K. AAround the world, the survival of seven species of sea turtle is threatened by a variety of man-induced factors, including the direct and indirect harvest of adults and juveniles (see Oravetz, this volume), threats to eggs and hatchlings (see Boulon, this volume; Mortimer, this volume), the degradation or loss of nesting habitat (see Witherington, this volume), and pollution of the seas (see Gibson and Smith, this vol ume). Perhaps no threat is as pervasive and devastating to declining populations as the persistent take of adult and juvenile turtles. The take continues, often in contravention of existing national and international legislation, largely because of familiar and ineffective "top-down" approaches to conservation, and a lack of grassroots support for or understanding of conservation initiatives. In response, conservation organizations and regulatory agencies alike are investing heavily in community-based conservation (see Frazier, this volume). Community-based conservation involves changing habits and outlooks, neither of which happens easily.
