Marine turtles and problems in coastal management |

KEYWORDS: disturbance, fisheries, habitat, harvesting, light, management, Pollution, threats |
|
ABSTRACT: There are seven species of marine turtles and all but one are endangered of threatened. These animals do not live only in the sea, but during their life cycles, they depend on terrestrial, estuarine, neritic and pelagic environments. Direct exploitation has been intense and responsible for depleting many populations of turtles, but indirect contaminants, introduced by Man, include a wide variety of substances, ranging from radioactive, light and sound pollutants to thermal, chemical and physical disturbances. Chemical pollutants are probably most insidious, and pernicious, but there is little information. this paper is an attempt to draw attention to potential problems relating to coastal management and marine turtles, and to stimulate research and remedial actions. |

ABSTRACT: Marine turtles have long been of great value to peoples of the Indian Ocean, nutrionally, economically, and culturally. Once directed primarily toward subsistence, the hunting of marine turtles for international trade has increased, today their populations are often so depleted that they are not only insignificant as resources, but are endangered. An understanding of exploitation is imperative to guarantee future populations, yet available information is sketchy. “Subsistence hunting” is an ambiguous term, since the most intense exploitation is for export. Historically this has involved Chelonia and Eretmochelys, whose populations are now much reduced. Yet, newly “discovered” populations (Lepidochelys especially) are being exploited, under the stimulus of new foreign markets (e.g. leather), and their fates seem even less hopeful than those of long exploited populations. Moreover “subsistence hunting” for immediate local consumption has led to depletion of nesting and feeding populations of turtles in areas where protein sources are in great demand and human population densities high. Neither the future nor the solution to this dilemma is clear, but it is obvious that economic considerations must be carefully considered, and ecological arguments alone are insufficient to manage these resources. |

Sea turtle faces extinction in India Crying 'wolf' or saving seaturtles? |

KEYWORDS: India, fisheries, population, management |
|
ABSTRACT: This a short communication in response to an article published earlier in this journal “Sea-turtle faces extinction in India, ” where the author discusses the decline of sea turtles around the world due to increase in sea-turtle fisheries. And states that there is no debating that the future of sea turtle populations is insecure, and the need for basic information and national management practices is therefore urgent. The author points out erroneous facts made in the earlier published article.

Green turtle ((Chelonia mydas (L.)) nesting activity at Aldabra Atoll |

KEYWORDS: disturbance, Green turtle, habitat use, monitoring, nesting, nesting sites, population, reproduction, Seychelles, threats |

ABSTRACT: Green turtle (Chelonia mydas) nesting activity as indirectly monitored at the nesting sites at Aldabra by counting turtle tracks and nest pits during 11 months. Nesting activity took place throughout the year but a prolonged peak season was observed on southwest coast beaches between July and October, and less consistent peaks were observed for other beaches in February and March and from May to August. Estimations based on track ad pit counts suggest that about 700 turtles nested at Aldabra during the year. Although annual variations may occur, this is similar to earlier estimates and does not suggest any recent increase. The distribution of turtle emergences among nesting beaches suggest that beaches fall into distinct nesting areas that ate utilised to different extents. The distribution of turtle emergences in the largest beach suggests that human settlements may de reducing nesting there.

ABSTRACT: The author mentions about the government of Orissa’s plans for management of a huge rookery there (he likely refers to Gahirmatha). He also mentions local fishermen along the Puri coast of Orissa catching 40-50 green turtles everyday and these being sent to West Bengal (the green turtles mentioned here is erroneous and are surely the olive ridleys).
