Fisheries effort from around the world is being compiled and analyzed at Duke University Marine Lab. From this information we may begin deducing its effects on endangered marine mammals, seabirds and sea turtles. For the sake of fisheries management, do intensively fished areas correspond with breeding grounds or home ranges of endangered animals? (contributor: Sloan Freeman)<br>
