dc.descriptionThe primary objective of this document is to present a strategy for a national effort to ensure sustained recovery of depleted sea turtle stocks. To reach this objective, the authors of this document, with the assistance of the STRN and WIDECAST experts, have compiled data on the status and distribution of sea turtles in Jamaica, assessed the role played by sea turtles in Jamaica's culture and economy, and identified factors threatening turtles and their habitats. Much of this information was collected directly through field work and interviews because no baseline data were available, and it now forms the basis for specific management recommendations for population monitoring, habitat protection, community involvement, public awareness, legislation, and law enforcement.en
