Abstract
The purpose of this initial phase was to expand our previous work on marine turtles on
the Caribbean coast of Nicaragua. This was done through the establishment of a collaborative
program with the Miskitu Indians to reduce the uncontrolled take of marine turtles in this region.
We initiated activities for a multi-year program that will include research, training, and
educational activities involving three Miskitu Indian Communities located in the Indigenous
Communities and Miskito Cays Biosphere Reserve (ICMCBR). (5 page document
