The Marine Mammal and Turtle Division collects data about individual cetaceans and sea turtles that come ashore, strand on the beach, were incidentally killed in the yellowfin purse-seine fishery operating in the eastern tropical Pacific (ETP) or in the California gillnet fisheries (CAGN). The data include the species, data and location, and the sex and size of each animal. Reproductive data are also collected from some animals.
