Group tracks two new Nevis hawksbills

From an article posted on the Web site of the Caribbean Conservation Corporation (CCC):

CCC researchers traveled to Nevis, an island in the Caribbean, from July 28-30 to attach satellite transmitters on two endangered hawksbill sea turtles as part of a unique public-private partnership between CCC, the Nevis Turtle Group and the Four Seasons Resort Nevis. These turtles are now available for adoption and can be tracked here!

CCC researchers joined volunteers from the Nevis Turtle Group and the Four Seasons on Nevis to look for nesting hawksbill turtles. Hawksbills are considered "critically endangered," yet they continue to nest in large numbers in Nevis. The two hawsksbill turtles were, "Calypso" and "Ginger". Each turtle received a satellite transmitter that was harmelessly attached to the carapace. These tranmitters permit scientists to track their movements at sea. The research data collected will aide in efforts to conserve this species in the Caribbean by learning where they travel when away from nesting beaches.

The CCC has a page showing the movements of the turtles.
