Policy and Law
Area of interest
The laws which cover our environment allow us to commit as a nation to engaging in the work that we do. These laws must also reflect the will of the people and the science and research that comes together in a process of consultations, leading to effective implementation.
Since it’s inception, SVGEF partners have worked closely with the government to implement two laws to date, changing the course of history for our species and habitats.
- On January 1, 2017 a total ban on sea turtle hunting, preventing harm of any sea turtle, egg, or hatchling in SVG
- Sept 1 – Nov 30, 2026 the first ever conch season to be implemented in SVG
We continue to be at the forefront of environmental policy and law, by engaging with the government, researchers, species, habitat and our communities towards a unified agreement in saving our species.
