About 800 people from 86 countries will converge on Brisbane this week for the world”s largest meeting on sea turtle conservation. It is the first time the annual Symposium on Sea Turtle Biology and Conservation is being held in the Southern Hemisphere. International Sea Turtle Society spokesman Dr Colin Limpus says Australia can both teach and learn from other countries.
“We’re way ahead of folks in other countries in some areas, particularly in how to deliver conservation management,” he said.
“But there’s areas of specific research skills and analytical skills and things like that where we know that there’s leaders in other countries and we want to learn from them.”
The symposium runs until Thursday and is being held at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre at South Brisbane.
