To provide such capabilities at the National Marine Fisheries Service, a comprehensive Turtle Data Processing System (TDPS, formally called Marine Turtle Data Management System) was created. The system was written in DBase III and Clipper and implemented on IBM/PC-compatible computers running under MS-DOS. As of 2017, TDPS was upgraded into Microsoft Access. The TDPS is modular, supporting data of various types. Cross-referencing and multiple-encounter analysis are enabled through a core database file of individual turtle identifications, based on uniquely-inscribed flipper tags and passive-integrative transponder tags. The Turtle Data Processing System (TDPS) was designed to support marine turtle research at the National Marine Fisheries Service's (NMFS) Marine Turtle Biology and Assessment Program (MTBAP). It provides for the systematic storage, retrieval, and summarization of data collected in three source categories, one being data pertaining to turtles found stranded on beaches or incidentally caught in nearshore fishing gear and reported to NMFS. In all categories, most turtles involved are uniquely identified through the application of flipper tags. Thus a key feature of the database is the ability to trace the history of encounters with individual turtles and cross-reference information among data sets. A central turtle ID file facilitates this. underDevelopment Murakawa, Shawn KK (808)725-5731 1845 Wasp Blvd. Honolulu HI 96818 USA shawn.murakawa@noaa.gov 6:30 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. M - F Via email pointOfContact Murakawa, Shawn KK (808)725-5731 1845 Wasp Blvd. Honolulu HI 96818 USA shawn.murakawa@noaa.gov 6:30 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. M - F custodian continual MTBAP PIFSC PSD pacific sea turtles strand stranding theme Date temporal American Samoa CNMI Guam Hawaiian Islands Northwestern Hawaiian Islands Pacific Ocean Saipan place DOC/NOAA/NMFS/PIFSC > Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center, National Marine Fisheries Service, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce dataCentre Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Data Center Keywords 2017-04-24 publication 8.5 Earth Science Data and Information System, Earth Science Projects Division, Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) https://forum.earthdata.nasa.gov/app.php/tag/GCMD%2BKeywords GCMD Keyword Forum Page Global Change Master Directory (GCMD). 2025.

Accuracy If the turtle is retrieved by us, then the data collected is as accurate as the staff member recording the data.
