This grant, offered by the USGS Wetland and Aquatic Research Center in Davie, Florida, is for conducting vital genetic analyses on biological samples from threatened and endangered sea turtles. The project aims to analyze a comprehensive dataset of skin and blood samples collected from sea turtle populations across the Gulf of Mexico, Atlantic, and Caribbean regions. While previous studies have provided preliminary insights into population abundance, reproductive parameters, and connectivity through nest monitoring and mark-recapture efforts, this funding will facilitate deeper genetic investigations. The primary purpose of these analyses is to determine effective population sizes for these assemblages and to further elucidate connectivity among various sea turtle groups, supporting critical conservation efforts for these vulnerable species.

| Description: | The USGS Wetland and Aquatic Research Center in Davie, Florida is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for genetic analyses of biological samples from threatened and endangered sea turtles. The sea turtle biological sample dataset is comprised of skin (tissue) and blood samples from sea turtles sampled on projects conducted in the Gulf of Mexico, Atlantic, and Caribbean. Previous studies including nest monitoring and mark-recapture provide preliminary information on population abundance, reproductive parameters and connectivity. Intensive sampling of multiple species and populations has resulted in a large number of biological samples. Analysis of these samples will reveal effective population sizes for these assemblages and connectivity among groups. |
