On August 8, 2011 New Caledonia’s Office of Posts and Telecommu-
nications issued a single 75F denominated stamp with a map of the Ouvéa Atoll, part of New Caledonia’s UNESCO World Heritage Site. The stamp depicts a sea turtle on a sandy beach, with vegetation and a bird flying overhead. A map of both Ouvéa Atoll and Beautemps-Beaupré Atoll is shown in the upper right corner of the stamp. The UNESCO logo appears in the lower right corner. A large souvenir sheet was issued in December 2008 to mark the registration of the various lagoons around New Caledonia and the Loyalty Islands in the UNESCO register.
