We examined 62 digestive tracts of dead green turtles necropsied
to study their diet. The animals were incidentally captured
during 2008–2011 in gillnets of the San Clemente artisanal fishery
that operates in the coastal waters of the southern part of the estuary
(González Carman et al., 2013). We measured curved carapace
length (CCL ± 0.1 cm) and weight (W± 0.1 kg) of the animals. Debris
was counted, weighed (±0.1 g), and classified by type (e.g. plastic
bag, hard plastic fragment, rope, cloth, paper, and others)
following Bjorndal et al. (1994) and Lazar and Gracˇan (2011).
Results for each specific category were expressed as number of
