WELCOMELETTER

For three and a half decades, this Annual Symposium hasbeenthefocalpointofbuildingscientificknowledgeaboutseaturtles.The Symposium encourages the rekindling of collaborations andfriendships,discussion,debate,thesharingofknowledge,thesharingof research techniques and lessons in conservation - all towardaddressing questions about the biology and conservation of seaturtlesandtheirhabitats.

The36thAnnualSymposiumisbeingheldthisweek,from29February to 4March 2016, at the Universidad Científica del Sur andMaria Angola Convention Center in historic Lima, Perú. Besidesproviding the many advantages of a large capital city, hosting thesymposium in Lima provides the opportunity to learn about the region’s fascinating history, diversecultures, and extraordinary flora and fauna. The city’s vantage overlooking the Pacific Ocean alsoreflectstheconnections,spanningcenturies,thesepeopleshavehadwiththesea.

The theme of this year’s Symposium is Crossroads. We chose this to reflect the region’simportanceasa foraginggroundfor fivespeciesofsea turtlesandtohighlight thecritical junctureatwhich we find ourselves with sea turtle conservation. This theme also reminds us that this is theSymposium’s first time in SouthAmerica.We also celebrate the newgenerations of researchers andconservationists that continue to keep the ISTS innovating and energized and we want to use thisopportunitytopromotetheirbroadattendancefromthroughouttheregionandaroundtheworld.

AnnualSeaTurtleSymposiaaimtostrengthen regionaland international conservationeffortsbyprovidingavenue for thesharingofcuttingedge researchandconservationpractices.Symposiumparticipantshavebeenabletopromotetheirresearch,connectwithotherpeopleworkingintheirfield,and train future sea turtle advocates. The annual gatherings also provide a unique opportunity forparticipantstocollaborateonprojects,forgenewpartnershipsandestablishtheinternationalnetworksvitalforsuccessfulseaturtleconservation.InLima,wewilltakethisastepfurtherasweholdaseriesofworkshops addressing other threatened marine taxa including marine mammals, seabirds andelasmobranchs.We are certain that sea turtle conservation andmarine conservation as a whole willbenefitfromtheseexpandedconversationsandlinkages.

The study of sea turtles in their marine habitatsbecomesessentialtounderstandthebiologyandtheirlifecycle.Nowadays,theScientificandIntentional Capture of Sea Turtles is considered one of themost useful and successful fieldtechniques to achieve these goals. This workshop is an excellent opportunity to exchangeideas and experienceswith specialists aswell as to expand the use of these practices at in-water projects. The aim of this workshop is to share the knowledge and experience frominternationalexperts.Through individualpresentationsanddiscussiongroups,attendeeswilllearnaboutthedifferenttechniquesandapplicationsofthescientificandintentionalcaptureofseaturtles.With lectures,wewillanalyzetopics like;(i)capturemethods,(ii) investigationpossibilities,(iii)datacollectionprotocols,(iv)equipmentneeded,(v)andbasicsafetyrules.Adebatewill beopenedat theendof eachpresentation inorder todiscuss these issues.

Temperature-dependentsexdeterminationinreptileswasdiscoveredmorethan40yearsago,first in a lizard, then in a tortoise and a freshwater turtle and later in allmarine turtles. TSDresearch has been particularly focused on the biochemical pathway(s) of sex determinationand it has been partially solved: Temperature regulates the transcription of the aromatasegene and the aromatase enzyme transforms testosterone to estradiol, the latter being thefeminizing hormone (in short!). However, the impact and interpretation of temperaturedependentsexdeterminationwithfielddatahasbeenmuchmorecomplicated.Uptonow,itisimpossibletoestimatesexratioswithcertitudeusingatimeseriesoftemperaturestakenfrombeach sand or from within a nest.
