The survey will provide fishery independent information on the abundance of leatherback sea turtles inside and outside the bycatch hotspot identified in eastern Bay of Plenty, and information on the distribution of leatherback sea turtles in relation to environmental variables known to influence their distribution, and other marine megafauna and fishing vessels observed during survey flights.
