    Abstract:[English] Bycatch is a significant issue affecting fisheries management today and the incidental mortality of sea turtles in many fisheries is an important and often controversial conservation problem. Empirical data on the bycatch of turtles are lacking in artisanal and other small-scale coastal fisheries. For 10 days we conducted informal interviews with fishers, fishing net surveys, searched for strandings, and deployed fishing nets to quantify turtle bycatch in an artisanal fishery in the Dominican Republic. Our study area was a major feeding ground for hawksbill turtles within a Caribbean UNESCO Biosphere Reserve with artisanal fishers soaking nets daily.
    [Español] La captura incidental es un problema importante que afecta el manejo de pesquerías y la mortalidad de tortugas marinas, constituyendo un tema de conservación controvertido. Existen muy pocos datos empíricos de captura incidental de tortugas marinas en pesquerías artesanales. Durante 10 días realizamos entrevistas a pescadores, inspecciones de redes de pesca y busquedas de varamientos, así como colocamos redes de pesca para cuantificar directamente la captura incidental de tortugas en una pesquería artesanal de la República Dominicana. El área de estudio fue un sitio de alimentación importante para tortuga carey (Eretmochelys imbricata), ubicado dentro de una Reserva de la Biosfera de la UNESCO. Allí los pescadores colocaban sus redes a diario.
