--------------14F8A34F5E39C3393B83BEFD Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit The Sea Turtle Survival League continues to add sea turtles to its environmental education program for teachers & students While Sara has reached Cuba, Juanita continues to swim to Mexico followed by Cassie swimming at a slower pace. On the East coast, Perdida continues to enjoy the warm waters off Assateague Island, while Scarlet changes her mind and has headed north to follow Goody up the Florida coast. Though they may seem like swimmers trying for long distance swimming records, they are in fact sea turtles that have satellite transmitters attached to their backs so that researchers, teachers, students and everybody in cyberspace can watch the turtles' migrations. The turtles are part of the Sea Turtle Survival League's innovative Sea Turtle Migration-Tracking Education Program. This program began in 1996, which first allowed educators and students to track the migration of four satellite-tagged green sea turtles from the ACNWR to Florida Bay. The tracking program was an instant success with thousands of educators nationwide incorporating it into their class curriculums. As part of the program, an Educator's Guide is available free-of-charge to educators. The Guide contains detailed information about sea turtles and many fun classroom activities. Lesson plans are also included for easy incorporation into both primary and secondary grade curriculums. In 1998, the STSL is working with the same researchers to track loggerhead sea turtles from Florida. In addition, researchers from the University of Arizona, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the Flower Garden Banks Marine Sanctuary and the Florida Marine Research Institute have joined STSL's program, providing data on the movements of sea turtles from Florida, Texas, Maryland, Mexico, Bermuda and Panama. Teachers may receive their free Educator's Guide by contacting the STSL by E- mail at: stsl@cccturtle.org, through the web site at www.cccturtle.org, or by calling (352) 373-6441. --------------14F8A34F5E39C3393B83BEFD Content-Type: text/html; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit <HTML> <B><FONT COLOR="#3333FF"><FONT SIZE=+1>The Sea Turtle Survival League continues to add sea turtles to its environmental education program for teachers & students</FONT></FONT></B> <P>While Sara has reached Cuba, Juanita continues to swim to Mexico followed by Cassie swimming at a slower pace.
