Loggerhead nesting (numbers of loggerhead nests versus year) at grouped index nesting beach sites in Florida during 1989-2000. Plots with trend lines have a significant slope (alpha=0.05). Plots without lines have no significant trend. Coastal index beach locations are represented by bold lines.

Correlation coefficients describing twelve-year slopes at each surveyed beach show considerable variation in temporal trends among beaches.
