Proceedings of the Forty-Second Annual Symposium On Sea Turtle Biology And Conservation

For the 42nd ISTS, the Organizing Committee planned several new initiatives, including having three concurrent oral sessions, a student-only social event, and introducing an ‘Origin Stories and Stories from the Field’ special session. For the first time in the Symposium’s history, the meetings were hosted in Thailand, making the ISTS more accessible to communities, researchers, government agencies, and students from throughout the SE Asia and Indian Ocean regions. To facilitate a sense of integrating attendees from both the East and West, as well as the Global North and South, the theme of the Symposium was “All In – All Together; Inspiring the Next Generations of Global of Sea Turtle Conservationists.”
