States and territories in the wider Caribbean region should:
a) develop further a collaborative regional conservation strategy,
based on the outline of a strategic plan provided in Annex 4
to these Decisions, to enhance the conservation status of hawksbill
turtles and, where appropriate, other marine turtles within the wider
Caribbean;
b) implement the strategy through the development and implementation
of national management plans;
c) adopt and implement standard protocols for the monitoring,
at recommended and agreed index sites, of populations of nesting and
foraging hawksbill turtles and that similar efforts should be made
to monitor legal harvests, by-catch in other fisheries and illegal
take;
d) implement measures to reduce illegal catch and illegal trade
in hawksbill turtles and parts and derivatives thereof, including
measures to improve the control of stocks of hawksbill turtle parts
and derivatives by identifying, marking, registering and securing
all such stockpiles; and
e) report on progress with the implementation of the regional
conservation strategy and national management plans at the 13th meeting
of the Conference of the Parties.
