inspiration and enthusiasm has made this project possible. Our research has been
funded by the U.S. National Marine Fisheries Service and the Disney Wildlife
Conservation Fund. Colleagues at the Department of Oceanography and Fisheries
at the University of the Azores, especially Helen Martins and “equipa tartaruga,”
have made our research not only possible but most enjoyable. I would also like to
thank Karen Bjorndal, Jeffrey Seminoff, and Jack Musick for their comments on
earlier drafts of this manuscript.
