	<abstract>The long-term recording of stranded and dead sea turtle individuals in &#13;
those critical habitats is crucial for management and restoration action &#13;
planning. In Mexico, some multiple-year operating conservation programs &#13;
count with a long-term sea turtle mortality database, as in Campeche, &#13;
Mexico, where some of the largest hawksbill nesting populations in the &#13;
West Atlantic reside. This dataset is a historic reference baseline about the &#13;
spatiotemporal mortality patterns of the imperiled sea turtle species in the &#13;
southeastern Gulf of Mexico, showing their interactions with anthropogenic &#13;
activities and circumstances that jeopardize their population recovery.</abstract><purpose>To contribute to the scientific and decision-making stakeholders with &#13;
historical data regarding interactions between endangered sea turtle &#13;
individuals and suspicious anthropic activities. This dataset aims to foster &#13;
further research for proposing management actions and promote the &#13;
relevance of having long-term monitoring data for robust strategies and &#13;
decision-making in any region.</purpose></descript><timeperd><timeinfo><rngdates><begdate>19920505</begdate><enddate>20220512</enddate></rngdates></timeinfo><current>ground condition</current></timeperd><status><progress>Complete</progress><update>None planned</update></status><spdom><descgeog>Gulf of Mexico</descgeog><bounding><westbc>-92.18048</westbc><eastbc>90.6681</eastbc><northbc>20.6998</northbc><southbc>18.4421</southbc></bounding>
