All five sea turtles found within the Caribbean Sea are protected under Jamaica’s Wild Life Protection Act, 1945) within its territorial waters and its Economic Exclusive Zone. The Endangered Species (Protection, Conservation and Regulation of Trade) Act, 2000 enables Jamaica to implement its obligations as a party to the Convention on the International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora. Both acts can be found on the website (http://www.moj.gov.jm/).
