Marine Turtles Interactive Mapping System


The Marine Turtle Interactive Mapping System (or Marine Turtle IMapS) provides user-friendly, public access to reliable and current information on marine turtles. The system enables experts to inform others of their activities in the field, their monitoring protocols and general data such as nest counts and migration data.

Marine Turtles IMaps will provide interactive map-based information on the distribution, current status, migration habits, habitats and abundance of marine turtles across the world.

The Marine Turtle IMapS is being developed by the United Nations Environment Programme - World Conservation Monitoring Centre (UNEP-WCMC), on behalf of the Convention on Migratory Species (UNEP/CMS).
