Abstract

Sea Turtle Symposium XXVI on the Island of Crete served as the venue for the 2006 Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the MTSG, which took place from 09:00 – 13:00 on Saturday, April 8. A new format was adopted for this AGM, different from recent years in that the Co-Chairs invited presentations from Regional Vice Chairs on MTSG-related activities in their respective areas of influence. Following these presentations, an openmike session was conducted at which numerous issues arose pertaining to priority-setting, and in particular the procedures, processes, and controversy relating to the Red Listing of sea turtles. Given the importance of this topic to the work of the MTSG and its implications on conservation and research as a whole for our field, the authors felt that it would be a worthy topic to address in this article.
