Catch Fish, Not Turtles
Blue Ocean staff conceived and produced the educational booklet, “Catch Fish Not Turtles,” in 2005 for fishermen and fisheries managers. It explains how to avoid turtle captures and how to handle and release turtles if they are caught. The booklet, produced in partnership with numerous institutions and organizations, has been translated into English, Japanese, Mandarin, Indonesian, and Spanish. With printing sponsored by the United Nations Environment Programme, it’s been distributed to longline fishery industries and associations, national and regional fishery management bodies, fishing gear suppliers, and more than 26 countries and territories worldwide.
