We are conducting the study of sea snakes in South Korea. This is first trial in our country. We are trying to collect the samples from other countries to compare with our's. Actually, we are assuming that our target species are living in Philippines and Taiwan. So how can we get the sea snakes in these countries? and where? any recommendations? Please contact me and we want make a cooperation.
You can try contacting Li-Yih Lin in National Taiwan Normal University, who has published on Taiwanese sea snakes ([email protected]).
Before any attempt to study and/or collect sea snakes from the Philippines, please refer to the Philippine Wildlife Act of 2001 (RA 9147). Unless you are given Gratuitous Permit (GP) from the government's Department of Environment & Natural Resources (DENR) and/or the Department of Agriculture-Bureau of Fisheries (BFAR), and its the Secretary (head of the department) signs the GP, legally you cannot collect and even export any wildlife.
I suggest you contact the Biodiversity Mgt Bureau (BMB) and BFAR in Manila for more details.
