Her travels from Holbox to southern Belize have been transmitting for a year. Here is a link as of July 24, 2008. http://www.seaturtle.org/tracking/index.shtml?tag_id=65714&full=1 PPY has released over TWO MILLION hatchlings since their sea turtle conservation program began. The sea turtle project is one of 34 conservation projects that PPY coordinates in the Yucatan Peninsula. In case Yucatan Living readers are not familiar with this impressive organization, their website is http://english.pronatura-ppy.org.mx/ For those so inclined, a tax deductible donation to PPY to this local sea turtle project would be appreciated as PPY supports three nesting beaches at Celestun, El Cuyo, and Holbox Island. It is a non-profit founded here in 1981. Currently I am learning as much as I can about this group to become the ex-pat community relations liaision. Their worthwhile efforts need to be shared with all of us.
