To truly protect sea turtles around the world, many different countries and cultures must cooperate and share responsibility. International laws and agreements, research, and the work of dedicated organizations and individuals each must play a part. Long-term protection of sea turtles also means developing solutions that reduce reliance on management methods requiring direct human involvement — such as moving nests or raising hatchlings in captivity. If sea turtles cannot survive and reproduce on their own, without help from humans, then they are doomed. Feeding and nesting grounds must be protected, and a public wildlife conservation ethic must be fostered that can withstand gaps in government regulations, pressure from private interests, and changes in the political climate.
Here are some immediate goals for protecting sea turtles include:
1. Crack down on illegal international trade in sea turtles and their products.
2. Decrease the turtle deaths caused by commercial fishing.
3. Protect nesting beaches by establishing parks and refuges or through regulations combined with public education initiatives.
4. Eliminate disturbances at nesting beaches by decreasing artificial lighting, halting beach armoring, regulating beach nourishment and limiting the impacts of people on the beach.
5. Enforce national and international laws to minimize the dumping of pollutants and solid waste into the ocean and nearshore waters.
6. Continue research and monitoring activities.
7. Increase public awareness and community participation in sea turtle conservation through educational programs.
