AN EMAIL INFORMATION NETWORK FOR
SEA TURTLE BIOLOGY AND CONSERVATION
To improve communication among individuals around the world who are interested in sea turtle biology and conservation, the Archie Carr Center for Sea Turtle Research at the University of Florida has established CTURTLE -- a LISTSERV managed email network on the Internet. CTURTLE takes advantage of Internet technology to facilitate communication worldwide. Anyone who has access to an Internet email address can subscribe to CTURTLE. Participation in CTURTLE is free of charge. Some individuals, however, who are not connected to an Internet network, may have telecommunication charges to the nearest Internet server as well as on-line charges.
Once you have subscribed, you can post messages/information to the CTURTLE email system that will electronically and almost instantly send your message/information to all other CTURTLE subscribers. The possibilities and benefits are enormous for information exchange. CTURTLE provides the opportunity to respond to conservation issues when time is a critical factor. When an ecological crisis involving sea turtles or their habitat occurs, you can inform the worldwide community instantly. CTURTLE is a forum for ideas, an avenue to announce job opportunities and volunteer programs, and a vehicle for discussion of research and conservation ideas or problems. The possibilities are limited only by the imagination of the participants. We also abstract information from other LISTSERV lists that are of interest to subscribers to CTURTLE. Please let us know if you have any suggestions. The success of CTURTLE depends on its members and their participation. It is truly a democratic system. Everyone's voice can be heard. The more people who subscribe, the greater the database of information.
