This strategy covering nine individual strategies ranging from research and monitoring to funding for marine turtle conservation is intended to meet the need for a comprehensive, unified and global approach to the issues.

This report draws on lessons learned from observations made at seven case study sites, all of which permit economic activities, especially recreation, that are not harmful to the biological values and natural functions of the area. There is now a need to translate these experiences into policy instruments. The guidelines, summarised in some 20 pages, offer sound and well-documented advice on how to proceed.
