Nesting sites, ports assessed for bycatch, generalized areas of importance (i.e., based on known nesting sites and documented patterns of habitat use and reports of bycatch; refs. 13,14,15,16,23,24,27,28,29,30,31,49) (A) and population trends (B) for Eastern Pacific leatherbacks. Index beaches in México, including Mexiquillo (until 2013), Tierra Colorada, Barra de la Cruz, Cahuitán, and Chacahua (since 2011). Nicaragua data not shown because 1) the time series of annual counts did not begin until 2002, after the overall population had already declined ~90%, and 2) abundance values are much lower than in Costa Rica.
