This project seeks support to conduct a feasibility study on providing live bait to fishers on the North and East coasts of Trinidad, so that fishers will reduce their use of gillnet fishing gear which is incredibly destructive to endangered ( ... )
rback sea turtles. Each year more than 1,000 leatherback sea turtles drown in the coastal gillnets of Trinidad. This accidental mortality jeopardizes leatherback populations, and thereby a primary economic driver to the NE Trinidad ecotourism industry. It also jeopardizes fisher income as the damage caused to the nets by the turtle entanglement is highly detrimental to fisher livelihoods.
