Fig. 4 Comparison of hatchling drift (black bars) with weighted (grey bars) and unweighted (white bars) many-to-many results for<br />

the Cayman Islands and other genetically characterized foraging grounds (for sources of published genetic data see Fig. 1). Data are<br />

mean proportion (±2.5<strong>–</strong>97.5% confidence intervals for many-to-many analysis).<br />

(Engstrom et al. 2002) are priorities for improving estimates.<br />

Ocean current modelling may serve to identify<br />

potential locations of regional foraging aggregations<br />

and priorities for studies of unsurveyed source rookeries:<br />

for example, particles from the southern Caribbean<br />

(Venezuela) would appear to be widely dispersed, yet<br />

rookeries are presently insufficiently characterized to<br />

permit inclusion in mixed stock estimates.<br />

Within the context of developing a hatchling drift<br />

model, much remains to be resolved or refined regarding<br />

biological parameters (e.g. sizes of hawksbill source<br />

populations, timing of peak hatching, duration of the<br />
