Manual of sea turtle research and conservation techniques

This manual was prepared primarily to assist in planning and research for the 1982 and1983 field rearch programs of the Western Atlantic Turtle Symposium. The multiple co-authors and editors all made significant contributions to this manual. they recognise that agreement in all aspects of sea turtle research methods and conservation has not been reached; a variety of methodologies appear in the puplished literature. Moreover research techniques often depend upon local customs and circumstances.
