Update on Suzie the Turtle in the BVI

Remember Suzie the turtle? Received this note from Conservation and Fisheries today...
"She has wandered all over the BVI and is in Anegada.We are starting to think she may be trying to nest up there but because the gps map datum is different than Google earth, it is hard to tell her exact location - it may be off about 500 meters. There are also only a few "fixes" a day with Argos (the satellite company) and if she isn't at the surface, the data isn't transmitted.

Anyways, if anyone is up in Anegada and feels like walking the beach to look for turtle tracks, she would most likely nest east of Loblolly Bay, this area has a higher density of nesting greens (see attached article about BVI turtles).
