Description
The Loggerhead Marinelife Center in Juno Beach, Florida is devoted to the rescue and rehabilitation of injured or sick sea turtles along the east coast of South Florida. In this study, data on illnesses, injuries, and patient mortality of sea turtles brought into the Loggerhead Marinelife Center were analyzed based on patient records from 2011 to 2016. The goal of this thesis is to make an assessment of the different anthropogenic and non-anthropogenic factors that have affected sea turtles in South Florida for the past six years. In addition, this thesis aims to understand the correlation between the different types of stresses and mortality rates in patients.
