Abstract: Data on stranded sea turtles were examined between 2010 and 2016 along the northern region of Rio de Janeiro state and between 2016 and 2017 in the southern region, looking for spatio‐temporal patterns and determining which factors contributed to their mortality. A total of 12,162 strandings of all five species that occur in Brazil were recorded, with Chelonia mydas being the most common (89.9%). Sea turtles use the Rio de Janeiro coast as a feeding and/or migration area. The intense upwelling (October to Apri… Show more

“…The five sea turtle species that occur along the Brazilian coast have already been recorded at the beaches sampled in this study. The green turtle ( Chelonia mydas ) are the most common in the area and, during their juvenile stage, feed on algae banks present in rocky shores (Almeida et al., 2011; Awabdi et al., 2013; Guimarães et al., 2018; Reis et al., 2017; Tagliolatto et al., 2020). Among the 14% of respondents who have already seen alive turtle on the beaches in the present study, the majority were regular beachgoers.…”

“…The five species of sea turtles are found along the west coast of the South Atlantic, during their migrations or in population densities in specific regions, such as feeding areas or spawning sites (Bolten et al 1998;Domingo et al 2006;Marcovaldi et al 2010;Vélez-Rubio et al 2013;Tagliolatto et al 2019a). On the coast of Brazil, aspects of biology and the analysis of the spatial and temporal distribution of stranded turtles have provided relevant data on the dynamics of populations, in addition to pointing out the main causes of threats (Marcovaldi and Marcovaldi 1999;Baptistotte et al 2003;Thomé et al 2007;Reis et al 2009Reis et al , 2010Reis et al , 2017Lima et al 2010Lima et al , 2012Almeida et al 2011;Awabdi et al 2013;Goldberg et al 2015;Lopes-Souza et al 2015;Monteiro et al 2016;Tagliolatto et al 2019a).…”

“…All species found in Brazil are threatened, varying between vulnerable (Caretta caretta Linnaeus, 1758, Dermochelys coriacea Vandelli, 1761 and Lepidochelys olivacea Eschscholtz, 1829), endangered (Chelonia mydas Linnaeus, 1758) and critically endangered (Eretmochelys imbricata Linnaeus, 1766), according to International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN 2021) or the Brazilian Red Book of Threatened Species of Fauna (Chico Mendes Institute for Biodiversity Conservation/ Ministry of Environment -ICMBio/MMA 2018). These five species frequent the coast of the State of Rio de Janeiro (Santos et al 2011;Reis et al 2017;Werneck et al 2018;Tagliolatto et al 2019a), a region identified as an important spawning site for the C. caretta (Marcovaldi and Chaloupka 2007) and a foraging habitat, mainly for juveniles of C. mydas (Almeida et al 2011;Awabdi et al 2013;Reis et al 2017;Guimarães et al 2018;Tagliolatto et al 2019a).…”
