Export regions

Turtles from the Cayman Islands can be carried alive, making this a cargo of animals rather than salted meat or stacked shells.

They supply markets such as those in Jamaica, where turtles are also kept in sea pens before sale. Their meat is eaten, while certain species yield tortoiseshell for objects such as combs. The animal caught determines these possible uses. Unlike dried provisions, a live turtle remains visibly part of the natural world from which the cargo was taken.
