the proper mixtures of legislation, education, and 

 conservation. 



HALL ; Some national representatives believe that their 



governments may become concerned at the sheer 

 number of meetings that occur. Perhaps fewer, but 

 longer, meetings with sections devoted to 

 particular species could be an answer. 



FINLAY ; Education is the way to go on island countries 

 because you can reach the entire population. 

 Despite socio-economic problems, the potential for 

 public interest is strong and people's needs can 

 change. He intended to meet with the USA national 

 representative concerning assistance materials. 



BERRY ; As we get better at collecting data for 



management, we will be in a better position to 

 promote public education. WATS seht a sea turtle 

 manual to each of the 70 public schools in St. 

 Lucia. Guatemala has decided to make 8 km of a 50 

 km long beach a sanctuary and ensure complete 

 protection within the sanctuary. 



The chair, in closing, noted that nothing had been said to 

 the effect that the eight needs initially identified were not 

 prerequisites to better sea turtle conservation and management. 

 The chair summarized relevant points made by panel members and 

 closed, noting that our efforts will surely be our legacy to the 

 children of the world.
