Abstract
This paper reviews the status and distribution of sea turtles in the Indian Ocean and Southeast Asia, with a brief account of populations and stocks. There is a summary of threats, legal instruments and conservation approaches, principally in south and Southeast Asia. The paper also provides a series of annexes on fishing effort primarily in south Asia, as an indicator of fishing effort in the region. Lack of complete data sets for the region is identified as a major lacuna that has to be addressed to enable informed management decisions.
