We present the first detailed characterization of age-at-settlement (~3-5 yr), age-at-maturity (~17-30 yr), and long-term resource use patterns for these turtles by combining skeletochronology with stable carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N) isotope analysis of annual bone growth layers. We studied dead green turtles stranding along the Baja California Peninsula at Playa San Lázaro in Mexico, where their deaths are presumed to be a result of regional fisheries bycatch. Our stable isotope results indicate that these turtles utilize resources differently than other regional, lagoon-foraging green turtle aggregations. Based on stable isotope values from multiple years for individual turtles, we propose these green turtles are long-term pelagic foragers in the coastal shelf habitat of the Gulf of Ulloa and consume a more carnivorous diet from the epipelagic zone, likely including fishery discards, similar to a sympatric group of foraging North Pacific loggerhead turtles. Thus, green turtles use the Gulf of Ulloa as more than a transit area between benthic lagoon foraging and/or breeding locations. This unexpected and prolonged use of a pelagic foraging area could benefit the turtles by facilitating increased somatic growth, but may be of conservation concern as this area also experiences high fisheries turtle bycatch rates. Our findings expand the current paradigm of green turtle life history and habitat use by demonstrating an unexpected exploitation of habitat and prey for post-oceanic stage turtles.
