At the Center for Coastal Studies, the Marine Animal Entanglement Response (MAER) team works on a variety of species that get entangled off the coast of Cape Cod, including the leatherback sea turtle (Dermochelys coriacea), an endangered and largely pelagic species.
Join Bob Lynch, CCS Rescue Assistant with the MAER team, to learn about the effects of entanglements on these marine turtles and what we have learned through the process of disentanglement.
