Abstract
The dwindling numbers of leatherback turtles are signalling a threat to
biodiversity in the oceans. A mathematical model based on our assessment of
a once-large leatherback population predicts that unsustainable adult mortality,
apparently due to human fishing activity, will soon drive this population
to extinction.
