Development of the Regional Framework (Action Plan) for Marine Turtle Conservation and Capacity Building in Turtle Work

The project will enable the conduct of the regional consultative process to review and develop a new regional marine turtle action plan for the next five years (2013-2018). This presents the opportunity to share national turtle projects, programs and achievements; lessons learned; identify key areas (themes) for focus, including threats; identification and prioritizing of actions to address; and sharing on funding sources for national effort, contributing to the formulation of the new action plan. Capacity building on nesting monitoring methodologies will also form a component of the review.
