Physical mechanism on the ASEAN Sea-Turtle Researcher Network Nasir, Mohd Taupek Mohd; Isa, Mansor Mat The paper refers that the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on ASEAN Sea Turtle Conservation and Protection by the ASEAN Ministers on Agriculture and Forestry in September 1997 indirectly provided the platform for the formation of a regional sea turtle researcher network. It was proposed that this network be named 'SEAFDEC-ASEAN Marine Turtle Conservation Network (SAMTCN)', and that the network should comprise turtle experts and non-experts alike. SAMTCN is expected to have a large group of followers.

NGOs involvement in sea turtle conservation and management in the ASEAN region Lau, Min Min This paper summarizes the recent or on-going initiatives of NGOs in the ASEAN region in sea turtle conservation and management. It is based on feedback and reports from various countries within the ASEAN region. The key factor for the success in the sea turtle conservation efforts of NGOs in this region is the close collaboration existing with local government and community groups of that particular area. While many of the conditions that have contributed to the success of the initiatives are specific to the country and the site, there could be lessons to be learnt which could be of great use in designing participatory conservation strategies in other countries.

Population genetics of sea turtle in Southeast Asia Bakar, Yosni bin Among the pertinent population questions commonly asked were those related to population sub-divisions, genetic distinction between populations and genetic variations between and among population. Substantial genetic information existed for a few turtle populations. Genetic studies on sea turtles in various regions, including ASEAN, were deemed necessary for a better understanding of the world turtles for their effective management and conservation. The paper provides a brief description of the molecular approaches and a short report on the progress of the genetics study by the Marine Fishery Resources Development and Management Department MFRDMD/UKM.

Research, conservation and educational activities of the Sea Turtle Research Unit (SEATRU), Universiti Putra Malaysia Terengganu Chan, Eng-Heng; Liew, Hock-Chark The Sea Turtle Research Unit of University Putra Malaysia Terengganu (UPMT) was established in 1984, when research on sea turtles was first initiated in the University. Among the various research activities that have been conducted by the Unit, turtle tagging and nesting biology, research on hatchery and sex ratio, inter-nesting movements and behaviour, long distance migration and student research are included. Results from the satellite tracking study on long distance migration have reinforced the urgent need for regional cooperation among the ASEAN nations. The conservation and educational activities included the in-situ incubation of green and hawksbill turtle eggs. The public outreach programmes include the likes of 'Adopt a nest', 'Adopt a turtle', 'Volunteer Programme' and 'Turtle Camps'.
