Memorandum of Understanding on the Distr. GENERAL Conservation and Management of Marine Turtles and MT-IOSEA/SS.3/Inf. 9 Habitats of the Indian Ocean and South-East Asia Agenda item 6 23 March 2005

THIRD MEETING OF THE SIGNATORY STATES Bangkok, 29-31 March 2005

FLIPPER TAG SERIES

Whereas there is considerable information available on tag numbers used in the Atlantic and Pacific Ocean basins, through the ACCSTR (Archie Carr Center for Sea Turtle Research) Sea Turtle Tag Inventory, the coverage of the IOSEA region has, until now, been relatively poor.

The following table, extracted from the IOSEA website, has been prepared in the interest of preventing duplication of tag numbers, as well as standardising flipper tag codes used throughout the Indian Ocean – South-East Asia region.

Anyone who is currently tagging turtles in any of the 40 IOSEA States, as part of a government or private/NGO-run programme, or who has accurate information on tag series that have been used in the past, is encouraged to provide the relevant details for inclusion in the table.

Contributions from the following individuals/organisations are gratefully acknowledged:

Ahmad Ali (SEAFDEC/MFRDMD) Archie Carr Center for Sea Turtle Research (ACCSTR) Christina Louro (Centro Terra Viva - Mozambique) Dr Jeanne Mortimer (Seychelles) Richard Zanre (ex-Watamu Turtle Watch, Kenya) Flipper Tag Series, as at 23 March 2005
