Marine Turtle Migration Game

I like to point out geography-infused games on this page. Here's one I heard about on the Google Lat Long blog that crosses two of my interests: marine turtles and the Caribbean. The wonderful organization WIDECAST and Sea Turtle Conservation Bonaire have developed a game (thanks to Google Earth Outreach Developer Grant) for middle and high school students. They can choose a sea turtle and predict where it will end up after the nesting season for the chance to win prizes. It seems like the game might (currently) be only available to students on Bonaire) but here's the link to get more information about the Sea Turtle Game. Contact them. Maybe they'll see the demand and want to open the game up to more people.

This is from the Previously tracked Turtles page:

"Since our satellite-tracking program started in 2003, we have tracked 21 adult turtles as they returned to their resident foraging grounds.

It is likely that these turtles were born on Bonaire many years ago, yet now live all around the Caribbean.

From our tracking program, we know that our adult turtles can live as far as 2200 kilometers away and as close as Los Roques, only 175 kilometers to the east."

I heard about this thanks to a tweet from ikiMap.
