Description
The intent of this project is to protect nests and nesting females from poaching and also to work with local fisherman to reduce hawksbill bycatch from lobster fisheries. The small eastern pacific hawksbill nesting population was thought to have been extirpated until remnant populations were discovered in remote sites until 2008. Bahia DE jiquilisco accounts for about 40 % of all hawksbill nesting in the east pacific. Specific activities include: (1) conduct community based patrols and relocation of nests to hatcheries; (2) conduct outreach activities such as a hawksbill festival, hawksbill cup competition and 'day of the hawksbill' events in schools to raise awareness about threats to hawksbills; (3) conduct year round fisheries bycatch monitoring of lobster fisheries with on board observers; (4) conduct led light trials on lobster nets to determine deterrence effectiveness; and (5) develop local capacity to strengthen a hawksbill ecotourism program for the benefit of local residents.
