On a separate sheet, provide a brief description/justification on why each site that was mentioned is considered important (sites with greater abundance, endemism, genetic, others). Include historical information (graphic and/or tables) showing the population status of each species present in the site. If available, provide information on the species for a wider region than the specific nesting place. 2. Information regarding the use derived from sea turtles a. The types of use (non consumptive/consumptive) may be, among others: Domestic (for subsistence), cultural, commercial, medicinal, tourism, scientific. b. Products or parts used: eggs, skin, carapace, meat, oil, craftsmanship, etc. c. : Pacific, Atlantic or d. Origin: make reference to the law that forbids/allows it from section 4 (Juridical framework) of this form. e. Estimated annual quantity: - Legal: refer to section 5 (Exceptions) of this form - Illegal: total amount of eggs or clutches, total animals (per sex, per stage) f. Actions: refer to section 6 (Actions for conservation) of this form 3. Main threats Add sheets with additional observations whenever necessary. 3.1 Habitat and other threats a. Using the following list, select the main threats and list the species affected, considering reproduction and foraging sites and migratory routes. - Accumulation of sand or presence of contention structures (please indicate) - Sand mining - Beach Erosion
monitoring activities required to improve the scientific basis of conservation measures for the hawksbill turtle, particularly in genetics, migratory behavior, location and conservation status of foraging habitats and food prey, population dynamics in feeding sites, interactions with fisheries, social and economic impacts of conservation measures, and integrity of its nesting beaches; Location and conservation status of foraging habitats and food prey Population dynamics in feeding sites Interaction with fisheries Social and economic impacts of conservation and protection measures Stability of nesting beaches Other (specify) URGE the Parties to evaluate and mitigate incidental capture of hawksbill turtles in their jurisdictional waters in accordance with recommendations emanating from FAO’s Technical Meeting on the conservation of marine turtles held in Bangkok 2004 and adopted by the 26th Session of Fisheries Committee of FAO (COFI). Also review the application of IAC guidelines for mitigating fisheries interactions See information below on U.S. activities related to sea turtles and fisheries interactions. URGE the Parties to strengthen protection of important hawksbill nesting and foraging habitats by nesting habitats
declaration of protected areas and the regulation of anthropogenic activities adversely impacting these habitats marine habitats (feeding, inter-nesting, resting …) SUPPORT a working group within the Scientific Committee to keep the Conference of the Parties informed on the status of the species and its habitats in the Area of the Convention; PROMOTE the exchange of technical capacity and collaborative research on the hawksbill turtle on their habitats among Parties as well as non Parties and other involved organizations in the Area of the Convention US sea turtle biologists regularly work with colleagues in the IAC Convention Area on sea turtle conservation. SUPPORT the organization of a workshop with recognized experts to evaluate the current condition of hawksbill populations in the Greater Caribbean and Western Atlantic, and present the best available methods of research and conservation for the species in its marine habitats. The U.S. provided significant financial resources to the Hawksbill workshop.
