Abstract
• Incidental sea turtle hookings at fishing piers in northwest Florida are a prevalent issue.
• The greatest number of C. mydas observations and bycatch have occurred at Navarre Beach Fishing Pier.
• Through continued study of these variables and other environmental factors, sea turtle usage of piers as habitats will be better understood.
• The results of this study will also be used to inform sea turtle bycatch mitigation measures at fishing piers.
