The EMYSystem accessible at http://emys.geo.orst.edu/ is an information repository supporting global turtle conservation. Our goal is to collect and provide current and historical data about turtle locations, and to help maintain the variety of turtles as part of the world's biodiversity. Unique to this site is our searchable World Turtle Database, where you can find more information about where various turtle species have been found. More information on this dataset can be found in the Freshwater Metadatabase - BFE_57 (http://www.freshwatermetadata.eu/metadb/bf_mdb_view.php?entryID=BFE_57).
