WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF CARIBBEAN SEA TURTLES!

The Wider Caribbean Sea Turtle Conservation Network (WIDECAST) is committed to
facilitating a regional capacity to ensure the recovery and sustainable
management of depleted sea turtle populations.  And so we ask ourselves: “What
would a sustainably managed sea turtle population look like?”  What would it
look like to Government?  To a fisher, a coastal community, a child?  To a
hotelier, a dive operator, a tourist?  What would it “look like” to a reef, a
seagrass bed, a sandy beach?  Each of these entities, and many others, relies
upon and/or benefits from the sea turtle population in measurable ways.

Borrowing the parlance of sustainable development, a sustainably managed sea
turtle population might be defined as one that meets the needs – ecological,
economic, socio-cultural, political, aesthetic, spiritual – of the present
without compromising the ability of the population to fulfill these roles in the
future.  To this end, WIDECAST – a volunteer coalition of experts resident in
more than 40 nations and territories – seeks to bring the best available science
to legislation and policy; to education, training and outreach; to conservation
and advocacy; and to in situ research and population monitoring.

Please join the conversation!  If policies aimed at sustainability are our goal,
what do such policies look like?  What role can an individual (a community, a
nation) play?  This site is designed to empower you to make more informed
choices, choices rooted in the belief that the decisions we make today will
create the choices of tomorrow, just as the decisions of generations past have
painted the landscape we see today.  Explore, learn, act!  Join us!
