The objective of the first workshop is to welcome all the participants and to introduce them to the Working Group and what it conceptualises, the process of the online workshops and timeline of activities during its first virtual phase. The formal welcome and introduction will be hosted by Dr. Joseph (University of Malaysia Sabah-MY) and Dr. Fontanilla (University of the Philippines - Institute of Biology-PH) that will share local experiences and insights, present the results of the participant online survey and set the expectations for the work of the group.
This will be followed by two presentations from Dr. Dutton (NOAA Fisheries-USA) and Dr. Jensen (Aalborg University-DK) that will provide an overview of the use of genetic tools for marine turtle biology and conservation, provide a status update/overview of genetics work in the region and showcase the work of other International Working Groups, and highlight the needs and benefits of regional collaborations. The first workshop will be closed by a panel of experts discussing the barriers to research and collaboration in Asia-Pacific, the advantages of being a part of a broader network of researchers, and their expectations for the Asia-Pacific Marine Turtle Genetic Working Group.
Duration: 150 minutes
