Snapper Sighted!

“Snapper,” a green turtle tagged at the Archie Carr national Wildlife Refuge in 1992 and fitted with a transmitter in 1996, was sighted nesting at the refuge on 2, 1998. Snapper, who was tracked migrating from the refuge to Florida Bay before losing her transmitter, laid a clutch of 128 eggs.
