Survey of turtles in captivity on Savaii, Samoa 19-20 November 2008

Abstract

The undertaking has been in operation for about 4 years now (to 2008) starting in late 2004 with the sole objective of establishing an income generating avenue targeting tourists. [However, a similar survey conducted in 2002 by SPREP and the Samoa Visitors Bureau confirms the existence of this operation then. Thus it started before 2004]. This operation is popular and is listed by the Pacific Travel Guide as one of the Top 10 things to do in Samoa.
