So after about 15 years, I am heading back to the US Virgin Islands. Only this time I will be heading to St. Croix instead of St. John. Oh and I will be working with sea turtles! I have accepted a job as a sea turtle technician for
Geographic Consulting. Up until this point, I have been working with the smallest sea turtle, the Olive Ridley, but now, I will be working with the largest, the Leatherback. The patrols are going to be similar to what I am use to, but about 3 times longer and the eggs are not moved to a hatchery because poaching is not a huge concern. Stay tuned for more as the adventure in St. Croix will begin in early March!
