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.
