Résumé
For centuries, marine turtles have been intensely exploited for their eggs, scutes and meat, resulting in a dramatic decline of populations all over the world, including the Indian Ocean. Consequently, conservation and monitoring programs are now employed to study population trends and behaviors. Recently, research emphases have focused on foraging ecology and at-sea behavior. One monitoring program conducted by Kelonia, the marine turtle observatory, over the last ten years in Reunion Island, which is a French territory located in the southern Indian Ocean 700 kin east of Madagascar, revealed that foraging turtle populations have increased. Here, Chassagneux et al focuses on the foraging behavior of marine turtles in Reunion Island using photo-ID data collection and analysis.
