The prized meat of the conch (a large shellfish) is exported to the USA and beyond, while the guts and discards are eagerly eaten by the attending turtles. The parents and grandparents of these fishermen regularly caught and ate sea turtles, but today’s generation has entered into a different relationship with these marine reptiles. Instead of ending up on the dinner table, these turtles now play a important part in a fledgling community tourism project. With local conch and other fish stocks in decline, tourism is becoming more important to the survival of outer island communities.
