In 2017 the Marine Turtle Specialist Group (MTSG) of the IUCN-Species Survival Commission launched a regional reporting initiative that aims to harness the collective power of its global expert members to compile and summarize the most relevant data for conservation of sea turtles in each of the 10 MTSG regions and their respective marine turtle Regional Management Units (RMUs). Regional reports are annual publications that summarize all known published data and pertinent unpublished data (at the authors’ discretion) for every country and region in which sea turtles occur.

The Reports currently do not cover all IOSEA Signatories due to limited data availability. The report for Southeast Asia and Australia is currently not being produced.
