Four Turtles Missing from Great Turtle Race

Wednesday, 19. September 2007, 20:28:00

Earlier, both me and Gary Denness covered the exciting turtle race
sponsored by Conservation International. A new update from CI has
indicated that four of the turtles that were involved in that race
have since gone missing -- i.e. information is not being received
from their transmitters.

But for a more complete update on that, I will refer you to Gary's
post on the subject. It is well worth the read, as the CI letter gives a
very good idea of what challenges the modern-day sea-turtle experiences
in the wild.

Gary also informs me that there will be several other turtle-related
things coming up as he reaches his 500th POST -- congratulations to
Gary on achieving that very significant milestone.
