As part of the sea turtle photo-identification program, we need photos of the profile of sea turtles observed in Polynesian waters.
Indeed, the scales on each side of their head are, like human fingerprints, unique to each individual and do not vary with age. In order to study their distribution, their movements and obtain information on their lifestyles, we need your help.
If you have photos of sea turtles, send them to us at photoid.temana@gmail.com and indicate the date and place of the sighting.Mauruuru roa for your contribution!
Important: Sea turtles are wild species and protected by the French Polynesian Environment Code. Caution should be exercised during observations so as not to disturb them.
