Sea Turtle Recovery Action Plan for Saint Lucia - CEP Technical Report 26

The WIDECAST Sea Turtle Recovery Action Plan for St. Lucia is fully supportive of all efforts aimed at improving the national capability to conserve sea turtle populations. This Action Plan represents a significant advance for conservation in St. Lucia in that it provides for the first time a comprehensive assessment of the status of sea turtles in our waters, of the threats facing sea turtles, and of the solutions that are relevant to our situation. We envisage that as a result of the community-based effort to draft and implement this Action Plan, legislation, public awareness, population monitoring, community-based conservation initiatives, and regional cooperation will be expanded and improved.
