Sea Turtle Research and Conservation: Lessons From Working in the Field is a comprehensive

reference of experiences with sea turtle species from global experts. This book looks at the human side

of protecting and studying these unique animals around the world, as well as the challenges involved,

such as cultural differences and conducting research in remote locations.

Led by a renowned expert in sea turtle conservation, this book addresses the largest issues the sea

turtle species are facing currently. Nearly all species of sea turtles are endangered due to illegal hunting,

getting caught in fishing gear, climate change, and more. Chapters in this book range from the use

of cutting-edge technology to learn more about this elusive reptile, to working with communities

with long histories of sea turtle trade and consumption. It provides readers with firsthand accounts

of sea turtle conservation efforts from conservationists based around the world and offers important

suggestions and solutions for ensuring the future of these sea turtle species. Sea Turtle Research

and Conservation: Lessons From Working in the Field is a valuable resource for field biologists, marine

conservationists, and policymakers, especially those connected with marine conservations, wildlife

protection, and sustainable development
