The Wider Caribbean Sea Turtle Conservation Network (WIDECAST) is an international scientific network founded in Santo Domingo (Dominican Republic) in 1981 to ensure the survival of six species of Caribbean sea turtle. The network is comprised of Country Coordinators in more than 40 Caribbean nations and territories. Each Coordinator works closely with a national coalition of governmental and non-governmental stakeholders, including scientists, natural resource managers, conservationists, policy-makers, educators and others. WIDECAST is based at the Nicholas School Marine Laboratory of Duke University in Beaufort, North Carolina.
WIDECAST will contribute their research and other materials to the Digital Library of the Caribbean. Search the collection in the grey box above, select the "text search" tab to search within the documents or select the link below to browse the publications.
