Summary

Montserrat is an important nesting site for marine turtles in the Eastern Caribbean. UK experts will work alongside the Government of Montserrat Fisheries and Oceans Governance Unit to provide the scientific evidence and training required to update current monitoring and management practices and to engage the community on their attitudes towards turtles and their conservation, including desire for expanding the Island’s eco-tourism draw. This will result in the development and implementation of a Marine Turtle Species Action Plan for Montserrat.
