1. Tagging program

    Tagging activities on green turtles have been done quite intensively on Suka- made beach, 
  Meru Betiri National Park since 1984 till now. During 1984 to 1998, the green turtle tagged 
  has already as many 1,172 turtles (mostly female) and the recaptured turtles are 1,135. 
  This recaptured data do not mention of the multi recaptured of green turtle tagged. 
  However, method of the recording should be improved 
  in order to be able to estimate the green turtle 
  population in Meru Betiri NP. Japan Bekko Association 
  funds the hawksbill turtle tag-monitoring program 
  was started since June 1995 until now. At present, 
  214 hawksbill turtles has been tagged and 2 of them 
  recaptured by fishermen accidentally at the same 
  place when the turtle were released.
