Sea Turtle Tag Database

SEATURTLE.ORG's Tag Finder is a resource to assist in reporting recapture data for sea turtles based upon their tag numbers. The database includes tag numbers, tag type, ocean basin in which tags were applied, species of the tagged turtle, and contact information for the organization that applied the tag.

All organizations and individuals involved in tagging turtles are encouraged to visit the ACCSTR Sea Turtle Tag Inventory. ACCSTR maintains an archive of tag series that have been used by various organizations and is useful for preventing duplication of tag series between organizations.

Organizations and individuals that have applied tags to sea turtles are encouraged to submit a list of tags so that they can be added to the database. The more tags included, the more useful this resource will be to tagging projects around the world.
