How does CEA's turtle work fit with larger effort?

From a monthly Q&A feature with Paul Sánchez-Navarro, CEA executive director, published on Sac-be:

Question
Where does the information collected from the turtles go? Is it used just in Mexico or does it get sent to the Carribean Conservation Corporation and/or Sea Turtle Survival League? Maybe all of these groups use the info? Just wondering how CEA's work fits in with the larger sea turtle picture.

Answer:
The data collected from all the turtle programs in Mexico, from each "turtle camp" goes through regional committees to the Wildlife Agency of the Ministry of the Environment. The data is then kept there. It would be good to be able to get national data out to everyone, but this would require some work by someone, perhaps doing a thesis on the subject.

CEA is going to publish all it's yearly information on its site.
