WWF Pacific is hosting a two-day capacity-building workshop in Suva to support efforts in tracking and protecting endangered marine turtles. The training is part of the Turtle Project and ShellBank Initiative and is led by ShellBank co-founders Dr Christine Madden and Dr Michael Jensen, who are experts in turtle DNA traceability.
The workshop introduces local conservation and enforcement agencies to ShellBank, a global toolkit and genetic database that traces turtle DNA to at-risk populations.
