This little guy, a terrapin, was rescued by the Conch team last week! Found swimming by our docks where there is a lot of boat traffic, he was later released back into a much quieter area of mangroves.

 Testing Question


        

 Virgin Gorda received its name from the profile Columbus' sailors saw  in 1493.

'Virgin Gorda' is Spanish, what does it mean?

Hint: There is a restaurant in the North Sound that has the same name!
