Science?

Brassratgirl: I am impressed with your expansions to this article. I think that it is developing nicely. Why do you characterise Marine conservation as a science? I see it more as an application of science (like, say, agriculture). —Theo (Talk) 10:26, 26 August 2005 (UTC)

• Thanks! As far as science or no, it's true that 'a new branch of science' is probably not accurate, but I don't think marine conservation is solely an applied science.. like conservation biology, it's both applied and theoretical (academic). I will change this to read 'discipline' until I figure out how to make it clearer. Thanks for your help! Brassratgirl 00:27, 10 September 2005 (UTC)

Title change

Someone has changed the title of this article, without seeking consensus, from "Marine conservation" to "Marine resources conservation". I have reverted this. It is a somewhat awkward and unnecessary change. As can be seen in the following Google hit table, the original term is much more commonly preferred by academics.

Search term	Google scholar	Google books
"Marine conservation"	34,300	122,000
"Marine resources conservation"	928	8,620

--Epipelagic (talk) 16:52, 28 August 2016 (UTC)

Google isn't an encyclopedia, it seems to me that the change of title I perform is closer to the subject of this article. Bear-rings (talk) 17:09, 28 August 2016 (UTC)

@Bear-rings: WP:COMMONNAME applies here. Search engine statistics are certainly relevant, especially in the absence of other palpable facts. Paradoctor (talk) 19:44, 14 October 2017 (UTC)

Some Reference Links Lead to Page Not Found

Hello everyone, As I was just evaluating this page to make sure it reads smoothly and that reference links worked; I came across 2 refs that led to their proper site, but said site said "Page Not Found". If anyone else would like to take a look and let me know if you find the same problem that would be greatly apreciated. I will be looking for new links until then. Reference/Citation 2 and 8 are the ones I am having issues with. Thanks everyone. Mackenzzzie (talk) 04:36, 24 April 2018 (UTC)

New effort to update this page

Hi all, I will be more actively adding sources to this page and ensuring the page includes a more adequate representation of marine conservation organisations, perhaps through a separate list page. Looking forward to collaborate. WritersCo (talk) 07:45, 23 February 2019 (UTC)

Peer Review

General info Whose work are you reviewing? (provide username)

Content evaluation

This group does a great job by adding new sections in the article that are very relevant to the Marine Conservation issue. For one, I think the layout of "Issue > Impact> Solutions to put in place" is a great outline for the subsections of "Human Impact." This is because I feel the article itself is lacking that currently. It would be great if the group could go further and make each subsection this layout. Also, I really like their campaign section they will be adding because I think it is really important to speak on the fact that this issue has been aware of due to many social media campaigns. Yes, all information is up to date.

Tone and balance evaluation

The overall tone of the draft is neutral and encyclopedic.

Overall evaluation

Overall, the group's draft is excellent and has a really great job in identifying the portions of the original article that need improvement. I recommend adding a few images to enhance the sections added.

Malberk (talk) 02:50, 18 March 2020 (UTC)

Peer Review

The lead in this article clearly explains the topic while describing some of the article's major sections in a concise manner. The content of this article is well rounded and provides an educational tone to the reader. This makes it easier to understand what the article is about and how it ties in with the main topic. As an informational article, the tone remains neutral as it is more factual than opinionated. Overall this article seems well developed with quality sources that support the topic. The article could use more pictures to make it more visually appealing. Ju13serv (talk) 05:55, 18 March 2020 (UTC)

Response to peer reviews

Malberk: Thanks for the review and we would take your suggestions into consideration when we elaborate the Wiki page. We would consider the following: 1. layout of "Issue > Impact> Solutions to put in place" is a great outline for the subsections of "Human Impact." 2. include pictures and images to enhance the sections added.

Peer Review

Very detailed article and interesting section on marine conservation technologies. However, I would say it would be great if you would expand more on halfway technologies or at least redirect the section to a more detailed article so to allow the reader to have a more complete understanding on these technologies.

The Law and Treaties section is incomplete to my knowledge: for example, UNCLOS fails to be mentioned under this section when it is without a doubt a highly significant aspect of marine conservation, denoting a great collaborative effort on an international level.

Hi everyone.

My group members and I are working on editing this page for our writing class. We are planning on adding some information about sea turtle conservation in the sea turtle section under Extinct and Endangered Species. Should we start a new section for this information or just add it to the existing one? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mountsainthelena (talk • contribs) 22:04, 9 November 2022 (UTC)

Sea Turtle Section under Extinct and Endangered Species

Here is what my group is looking to publish. Please let us know if there are any changes or additions that need to be made.

Loggerheads are not the most endangered species of sea turtles, but they are still in need of protection. The International Union for Conservation of Nature has determined that out of eleven of the most threatened sea turtle populations, three of them are loggerheads. These populations have nesting sites located in Japan, Cape Verde, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and Myanmar. Other critical loggerhead sea turtle nesting sites include Florida, Sal island in Cape Verde and Masirah in Oman [6]. In Florida, over the past thirty years there is no evidence of loggerhead sea turtle population recovery, leading experts to advocate for more conservation practices [7]. There are also many loggerhead nesting sites located in the Mediterranean. According to a study done in 2017, about 98% of the loggerhead sea turtles that needed rehabilitation in the Mediterranean were due to human impaction such as the ingestion of plastic and debris, accidental longline catching, boat collision, or entanglement. The other 2% were impaired due to infectious disease. These numbers are a large reason for why the IUCN is calling for greater protection of all marine life in the Mediterranean..

Current conservation efforts include tracking sea turtles, timed release of hatchling sea turtles and rezoning critical beaches that are used by sea turtles. Satellite tracking devices are used to determine the areas most critical to protect in conservation efforts [4]. A study found that if sea turtles hatch and emerge in large numbers, there are lower instances of predation [5]. In terms of conservation, young loggerhead sea turtles should be released in large numbers at twilight in areas where ghost crab density is low [5]. Rezoning critical beach habitats for sea turtles, is a part of conservation efforts used [8]. When areas are rezoned, it allows the prohibition of vehicles, beach furniture, prohibits fishing gear on the beach, and limits lights at night [8].
