Questions for discussion

• If you were asked by the National Marine Fisheries Service⁴ to define appropriate ESUs for conservation action in this group, what would you pick as your ESUs?

• Given that all sea turtles are recognized as either threatened or endangered under the Endangered Species Act, does it make a difference for conservation purposes whether or not the black sea turtle is regarded as an ESU?⁵

• How would you deal with the problem of discordance between morphological and molecular data that seems to exist [1,3]? Did Grady and Quattro provide advice that you'd be willing to follow?

• Did you find the Shrader-Frechette and McCoy [4] ``two-stage'' ethical analysis helpful? Why or why not? How would you suggest dealing with these ethical issues?
