first industry, and turtling played an important role in the
nation's developing fisheries. However, before the European
settlers arrived in the New World, Native Americans had already
developed spiritual and gastronomic relationships with sea
turtles. There are indications that ancient Florida tribes had
eaten sea turtles and then placed the skulls in burial mounds
(Johnson, 1952). |Title:||The Origin, Evolution, and Demise of
