[[Sea turtle]]s, already critically endangered, have been killed in large numbers in shrimp trawl nets. Estimates indicate that thousands of [[Kemp's ridley sea turtle|Kemp's ridley]], [[loggerhead sea turtle|loggerhead]], [[Green sea turtle|green]], and [[leatherback sea turtle]]s are caught in shrimp trawl fisheries in the [[Gulf of Mexico]] and the US [[Atlantic]] annually The speed and length of the trawl method is significant because, “for a tow duration of less than 10 minutes, the mortality rate for sea turtles is less than one percent, whereas for tows greater than sixty minutes the mortality rate rapidly increases to fifty to one hundred percent”
