Sea Turtles worth more alive!

BBC NEWS | Science/Nature | Sea turtle decline 'costs millions'

I have always been fascinated by turtles. We use to own two small terrapins who were wonderful to watch. Just looking at the pictures of these magnificent creatures astounds me.

Any way of helping them to stay arond should be supported, especially if this report does show that tourism is worth more than killing them. The key here appears, as is so often the case, to get the money to the people who actually live in these areas rather than to nameless International organisations who simply siphon off the money for profit. Perhaps island tourist co-operatives could be a way?
