Poor turtles D: I'm glad it dropped from the last decades though.

Remember that this is trawling ALONE. Other things like fishing nets, pollution, FP, slaughter for food and trade make 4600 deaths a year seem nearly insignificant. Still, it's good to see a trend in the decreasing deaths caused by trawling.
