Records of Dead Sea Turtles

Robert G. Whistler (Chief Naturalist, National Park Service, Padre Island Drive, Corpus Christi, Texas, 78418, U.S.A.) wishes to know if other researchers have any interest in data on strandings of dead sea turtles. If so he would like to hear from them with a view to standardizing data collection and exchanging information. Ms. Shirley Manor, of the Scientific Event Alert Network (Room 9, Mail Stop 103 A, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C. 20560, U.S.A.), has raised the possibility that their organization might be able to serve as center of records of stranded sea turtles.
