Sea-Water Resistant Paint Wanted

J. P. Schulz (Forest Service, P.0. Box 436, Paramaribo, Surinam, S. America) is trying to obtain information on new types of sea-water resistant paint suitable for marking turtles. If this can be found it will be used to check on the extent of tag loss and establish how many times leatherbacks nest in a season. If anyone has any suggestions please send them direct to Dr. Schulz.
