From: Climate-mediated population dynamics for the world’s most endangered sea turtle species
Estimated abundance of mature female Kemp’s ridley sea turtles since 1966 with (i) no change in annual reproductive activity (bars) vs. (ii) for the simulated assemblage (black line). Gray dashed line denotes immature female abundance in the same simulation. Thin black horizontal line denotes 10,000 mature females, a criterion for downlisting this species from endangered to threatened under the United States Endangered Species Act.
