Marine Turtle Newsletter 2:11-13, © 1977
A conference on marine turtles was held at the Florida Institute of Technology, Jensen Beach Campus, Florida, on July 24 - 25, 1976. This was sponsored by the Florida Department of Natural Resources, Marine Research Laboratory. Although it had been expected originally that the conference would be quite small, there were 119 registered participants at the meeting, attesting to the great interest in this topic. The proceedings of this meeting will probably be published later. Meanwhile, here is a list of papers presented.
