There have been numerous discussions over the development of the Dhamra Port in Orissa in India, particularly related to the involvement of the IUCN Marine Turtle Specialist Group. However one might personally feel about the involvement of the MTSG, the bottom line is that the group exists to do what it can to conserve marine turtles, and that is the only way I have looked at our involvement. For once I felt like we were doing something for which we were established, providing expert advice on the conservation of turtles and having a realistic, practical impact on the ground. A quick look at the MTSG Mission Statement “To develop and support strategies, set priorities, and provide tools that promote and guide the conservation of marine turtles, and their ecological roles and habitats” and the ten sub-statements under this suggests that in this case we have lived up to our own expectations.
