Trophic Ecology of Green Turtles (Chelonia mydas) From Dry Tortugas National Park, Florida

Trophic Ecology of Green Turtles (Chelonia mydas) From Dry Tortugas National Park, Florida

Located 100 km west of Key West, Florida, Dry Tortugas National Park (DRTO) is a largely untouched subtropical marine ecosystem that serves as an important developmental habitat, nesting ground, and foraging area for several species of sea turtles, including green turtles. The Park supports a recove...
