Each
year sea turtles return to nest on the beaches. The endangered
giant leatherbacks, the small green turtles, and the distinctive
hawksbill, emerge from the sea, scoop out the sand, and lay their
eggs. In the following months, thousands of two inch turtles made a
mad dash to the sea, and only several dozen will survive to
adulthood. Turtle watch groups monitor the nesting sites, and
visitors may join the summer nighttime watches by contacting the St.
Thomas Environmental Association.
