Issue Date: | 2002 | Abstract: | Deliberate take of marine turtles and their eggs occurs worldwide. Turtle meat and eggs may constitute a seasonal protein source in some developing countries. The shells, the stuffed bodies and other by-products are often destined for the tourist trade. This activity has been known in Cape Verde for a long time; fishermen catch turtles in the sea, though it is on the beaches where the number of captures is much higher. </p> | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10553/21036 | Source: | <p>19th Annual Sea Turtle Symposium, South Padre Island, Texas, USA, 1999.
