Abstract
Hawksbill Sea-turtles once occurred in vast numbers around Madagascar but persistent intensive exploitation has led to a drastic reduction in their population. Traditional hunting methods, employing harpoon, net, and grapnel, are still in use, though Remora fishing is no longer widely practised. Although reduced, the current value of Hawksbill products is still substantial, and justifies rigorous enforcement of the adequate existing laws. The present population is such that, with some protection, it should prove possible to restore numbers to a safer level.
