Track turtle journey online

For the first time, Internet users around the world are able to track, in real time, the epic, trans-oceanic migration of a critically endangered leatherback turtle from her nesting grounds on the tiny Caribbean island of Anguilla, thanks to a groundbreaking project headed by the Marine Conservation Society (MCS) and the University of Exeter in Cornwall, UK.
