Abstract

We estimated summer abundance of juvenile Loggerhead Turtles at our study site in Core Sound, NC with a Horvitz-Thompson type estimator, which uses count data and recapture probability to estimate abundance. Abundance ranged from 192 (95% CI = 88–1047) to 633 (95% CI = 219–1047) turtles over the six years of this study. These results provide preliminary estimates of juvenile Loggerhead Turtle abundance during the summer in Core Sound.
