Abstract:	"In this paper, we are looking at a community lead or co-management scheme for extraction of turtle eggs. In many countries of the world turtle eggs are extracted. However, Ostional is the only place in the world, where there exists a legal right to extract turtles eggs under the supervision of the Environmental Ministry. Normally extraction of turtle eggs if formally forbidden and de facto made."
