Planning for Protection of Sea Turtle Habitat
Shabica SV. 1982. Planning for Protection of Sea Turtle Habitat. Biology and Conservation of Sea Turtles. Smithsonian Institute Press. Washington, DC
The report is on planning for the protection of sea turtle habitat. It involves the identification of all the habitats upon which sea turtles are dependent and the implementation of regulations to ensure that habitat degradation is prevented and that habitat improvement occurs. This means that sea turtle habitat goes far beyond the limits of beach nesting grounds. Protection of the habitat would include migration paths and feeding grounds.
