The third workshop focuses on various themes associated with sample collection, preservation, management, and sharing. The session will open with four brief presentations that provide an overview of sampling techniques and sample types, sample collection organization and management, sample preservation methods, and permits, with a general focus on best practices across all themes. A question and answer session will follow. A breakout session will allow WG members to expand the information on the projects database created during the previous workshop and to share with the rest of the group, challenges and strengths. The workshop will close with a discussion on developing a manual of best practices for marine turtle sample collection, preservation and management for the Asia-Pacific region, and the creation a sub-committee for the preparation of the manual.​
