Cheloniidae of the South Pacific There are 5 species of Cheloniidae that are commonly found in the South Pacific. Information on the COI barcoding* status of these species is presented in the table below.*
MODE A	*All available COI barcodes for this taxa group (collected from any ocean and/or without geo-referencing):* Of the 5 total species, 5 of these species (100%) have COI barcodes (from this or any ocean). There are a total of 397 "any ocean" COI barcode records available for this ocean and taxa group. All available taxa group COI barcodes will be included in the Mode A downloads.
MODE B	*Regional COI barcodes for this taxa group (includes only those collected in the* South Pacific region):** Of the 5 total species, 0 of these species (0%) have South Pacific-collected COI barcodes. There are a total of 0 "South Pacific-collected" COI barcodes available for this taxa group. In the map to the right, Red Stars show sampling locations of the COI barcodes in the Mode B download.
Uncoded Species	Of the 5 total species in this region, 0 species do not have any COI barcodes (from any region).
