STCB (Sea Turtle Conservation Bonaire) Publishes Progress Report 2007
Many of Bonaire’s diving and snorkeling visitors have, through the years, contributed to STCB’ efforts with turtle sighting reports, images, and other information they have gathered on Bonaire’s turtle population while diving or snorkeling in the coastal areas. With this help, today STCB has developed into a professional conservation group, with stated goals and visions.
STCB has recently published their 2007 Progress Report, and we thought our readers may find it of interest. It covers the year’s events in research (nesting beach monitoring, foraging ground surveys, presence of disease on Bonaire’s turtle population, and the turtle tracking study), conservation issues such as beach cleaning, rescuing turtles, and other related issues, education and public awareness, training, and other important subjects. If you’d like to review the report, you may do so by clicking here (in PDF format). (Source: MINA)
