Question

In 1970, Atlantic leatherback sea turtle populations were very low, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service listed the species as endangered. Over the next several decades, steps were taken to protect turtle nests and prevent accidental killing of turtles at sea by fishing fleets. As a result, the population of leatherbacks nesting on beaches in Florida has been growing exponentially (FIG. E31-3). What factors probably contributed to this exponential growth? Can exponential growth continue? If not,what factors are likely to cause the population to stabilize?
