Evaluation of loggerhead sea turtle carapace properties and prototype biomimetic carapace fabrication

The research presented in this study has been conducted in an effort to aid in the creation of a biomimetic shell that may be employed in full-scale field experiments to determine the efficacy of mitigation options to limit loggerhead mortality in boat strike incidents. The objectives of this resear...
