The role of the current in trajectory movements is significant, particularly in species such as the leatherback turtle, as it provides at times unexpected information regarding the animal's sense of direction and purpose in terms of its environment. In the conservation effort, it is therefore very important to consider the influence of current upon animal movement.

Conservation can only be effectively applied when behavior and movement are interpreted to the highest degree of accuracy. The study reveals the importance of current influence on marine life movement. Although larger and faster marine animals will not be as influenced by the current as the leatherback turtle, there will certainly be an impact. While important to study the movements of marine life, the influence of currents on the study of foraging behavior is even more important. This will determine the focus of conservation on specific foraging areas in order to ensure sustainability...
In other words, understanding the influence of current movements will promote the effectiveness of habitat and species conservation. The use of current correction is critically important in this effort.

The objectives of the paper are important, as they directly relate to the effectiveness of marine conservation. Information to date has focused on a misconception regarding the influence of current streams upon the movements of marine life. Without accurate information, the conservation effort is not optimal.
The research suggests that, even with the new findings, current knowledge still falls short of the optimal. The new findings can however be used as a valuable springboard for future research on the location, trajectory, and other habits of marine life. Quantitative information will be an excellent asset to current qualitative data relating to the issues.
