L'échantillonnage des tortues de mer dans les eaux canadiennes de l'Atlantique.

Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) requires the services of a Captain and their crew for live sampling of loggerhead turtles (loggerheads). This is used to collect biological information on their spatial distribution, abundance and behaviour. This project will involve the direct capture, tagging and sampling of loggerheads in Atlantic Canada.
The work may be conducted throughout the Scotian Shelf and Scotian Slope, and as far offshore as the 200 mile limit (Canadian Exclusive Economic Zone; EEZ). Location of operations will be variable, depending on oceanographic and resource conditions, predicted areas of loggerhead aggregation, and research objectives.
The objective of the contract is to maximize loggerhead at-sea sampling over a period of 14 to 21 sea days.
