Sea turtles used to be plentiful during nesting season on the Cayman Islands, but now the number of nesting pairs of loggerhead and green turtles found in that British Caribbean territory are each in single digits. In an effort to learn more about the reptiles and develop strategies to save them from extinction, an international effort by the UK's Marine Turtle Research Group, the Cayman Islands Department of Environment, students and teachers at the islands' St. Ignatius High School and the conservation website seaturtle.org have fitted two green turtles and a loggerhead with radios and are tracking their movements around the Caribbean by satellite. You can follow the turtles' international migrations at http://www.seaturtle.org/tracking/. Photo courtesy of seaturtle.org
