Abstract

Continuous exploitation on the sea turtles has resulted these species be in the verge of extinction. This research focuses on a concept of stability in the dynamics of the sea turtles and human in which we can predict the future population of sea turtles. The objectives of this paper are to construct a sea turtle–human interactions dynamics model where we are able to analyse the stability of the equilibrium points of the model by using stability analysis in order to find the stability of the sea turtle population as we change a parameter in the model. As for the result, we obtained that the system is in a stable state when there is no human intervention or consumption. In addition, we found that the population of the sea turtles increases as the rate of consumption is low meanwhile the population of the sea turtle will decline as the rate of consumption is high. These results prove that the human population will bring more harm to the sea turtle or there will be a full extinction if there is no speedy actions are taken globally.
