What's so Great about Sea  Turtles? Conch Salad TV

Sea turtles are long-lived marine reptiles that spend the majority of their lives at sea. They have survived for millions of years but recently they have succumbed to anthropogenic threats that could lead to their eventual extinction. The history of sea turtles in the Caribbean dates back centuries and four of the world's seven sea turtle species are found in The Bahamas. Traditionally harvested by local fishermen for their rich meat, sea turtles provided a valuable source of income to fishermen, and an important food source to island people. Overexploitation and habitat loss has caused all four species to be recognized as endangered or critically endangered, and subsequently listed on the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List. In response to these severe declines in population numbers, the Bahamas Ministry of Agriculture and Marine Resources passed legislation that gave full protection to all sea turtles found in Bahamian waters in 2009. It is now illegal to harvest, buy or sell any marine turtle products, yet sea turtles are still in danger of losing important nesting grounds and foraging habitats due to coastal development. The protection of individuals in Bahamian waters allows for the investigation of information that is vital for the effective management and conservation of sea turtles populations throughout their early life stages, as harvest or other anthropogenic disturbance could reduce the reproductive potential of the entire population.
