The North Atlantic Oscillation and sea surface temperature affect loggerhead abundance around the Strait of Gibraltar
The aim of this study was to explore the possible link between variations in the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) and sea surface temperature (SST) and the abundance of loggerhead turtles around the Strait of Gibraltar, using stranding data for the Andalusian coastal area as a proxy for abundance.
