Borrowing the parlance of sustainable development, a sustainably
managed sea turtle population might be defined as one that meets the needs — ecological, economic, socio - cultural, political, aesthetic, spiritual — of the present without compromising the ability of the population to fulfill these roles in the future.
According to the report, the robust
population of juvenile
sea turtles is a positive indicator of long - term health of the species as well as proof that a well -
managed protected marine zone can produce positive results.
