The bibliography of marine turtles in the Andaman and Nicobar archipelago includes material that deals specifically with turtles or historical records and documents that contain particular information on marine turtles. Many papers that deal with sea turtles in India refer to the islands, and these are included in the bibliography in Issue 2 of the Indian Ocean Turtle Newsletter. This compilation also does not include proceedings of small workshops, training programmes or meetings, since most of them do not constitute full or reviewed papers, and are largely either brief or extended abstracts.
