<div class=""><p style="font-family: Helvetica;" class="">Hi everyone The idea of a DTWG resolution/position paper concerning the value of TED's was discussed and supported during Sunday's breakout session on by-catch at the recent DBT symposium.

If not already established there should be a code of ethics adopted by any/all researchers permitted by States to tag wild terrapins that would require an effort to notify the source of the original tag. (The Maryland Scientific Collection Permit once required such notification.) I learned recently that terrapins with Terrapin Institute tags and other obvious telltale marks on the shell were discovered in the Chesapeake. Unfortunately there was no effort to identify the original tagger and report such findings because the researcher was unaware of any other tagging programs. The Terrapin Institute has posted several photos depicting examples of our various tagging techniques beginning with our 1998 tags. <br class=""> Might there be any interest among this membership to compile a chart of tagging efforts and develop a code of ethics? <br class=""> <br class=""> > On Oct 16, 2019, at 12:15 PM, Barbara Brennessel <<a href="mailto:bbrennes@wheatonma.edu" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="">bbrennes@wheatonma.edu</a>> wrote:<br class=""> > <br class=""> > Thank you for all your responses.
