Abstract:
The long-term recording of stranded and dead sea turtle individuals in 
those critical habitats is crucial for management and restoration action 
planning. In Mexico, some multiple-year operating conservation programs 
count with a long-term sea turtle mortality database, as in Campeche, 
Mexico, where some of the largest hawksbill nesting populations in the 
West Atlantic reside. This dataset is a historic reference baseline about the 
spatiotemporal mortality patterns of the imperiled sea turtle species in the 
southeastern Gulf of Mexico, showing their interactions with anthropogenic 
activities and circumstances that jeopardize their population recovery.
