"The Leatherback Sea Turtle (Dermochelys coriacea) was listed as endangered under the Species at Risk Act (SARA) in 2003. The "Recovery Strategy for Leatherback Turtles (Dermochelys coriacea) in Pacific Canadian Waters" was finalized and published on the Species at Risk Public Registry in 2006. In 2012, it was recognized that Atlantic and Pacific populations are discrete and evolutionarily significant. As such, the Atlantic and the Pacific populations are now recognized as discrete designatable units in Canada. Both populations are endangered. The "Action Plan for the Leatherback Sea Turtle (Dermochelys coriacea) in Canada (Pacific population)" was finalized and published on the Species at Risk Public Registry in 2019. The "Report on the Progress of Recovery Strategy Implementation for the Leatherback Sea Turtles (Dermochelys coriacea) in Canadian Pacific Waters for the Period 2007 to 2012" was finalised and published on the Species at Risk Public Registry in 2015. This current progress report covers the 2013 to 2017 time period, and should be read in conjunction with the previous progress report in order to capture progress made towards implementation of the 2006 recovery strategy"--Executive summary, page ii.
