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.

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.

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.

The paper informed that the United States embargo on shrimps caught with gears not equipped with turtle excluder devices (TEDs) was unilaterally imposed on the Southeast Asian countries in May 1996. The countries affected viewed the threat seriously and SEAFDEC TD and MFRDMD were assigned to study this problem through cooperation with Departments of Fisheries of the SEAFDEC member countries. These involved studies and demonstrations on the efficiency of shrimp trawl nets fitted with different types of TED, most notably the Thailand Turtle Free Device (TTFD), in the waters of Thailand, Malaysia, Philippines, Indonesia and Brunei Darussalam.
