Summary
PIRO may fund activities for the conservation, protection, and recovery of ESA-listed sea turtle species in international locations. As noted within the U.S. Sea Turtle Recovery Plans, some recovery tasks do not necessarily apply to areas within jurisdiction of the U.S., but must be addressed to recover the species. Tasks in international locations are intended to benefit aggregations of sea turtles that have documented linkages to the PIR, are impacted by PIR activities managed by NOAA/NMFS, or projects that are relevant and applicable to NOAA/NMFS management and ESA recovery obligations. Since 2008, internationally funded projects have occurred (taken place) in Malaysia, Cook Islands, Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, Papua New Guinea, Japan, and Mexico.
