Resumo
On the 2nd of April, 1999, a fisherman of Cap Esterias, Gabon, turned in a tag (number
BR15415) to sea turtle researchers working on a genetics project in West and Central Africa. The
number was traced back to Projeto TAMAR-IBAMA (National Sea Turtle Conservation
Program of Brazil), which has been tagging turtles as part of its conservation programme since
its inception in 1980. This particular tag came from a sub-adult hawksbill turtle (Eretmochelys
imbricata) first captured and tagged on 26th of November, 1994, in Sueste Bay on the
archipelago of Fernando de Noronha, Brazil.
