Adopt Sir Patrick

Background

Sir Patrick is a sub-adult green turtle (CCL=74.9cm) captured close to the Ocean Hole on the Caicos Banks by TCITP Officer Amdeep Sanghera and staff from Big Blue Ltd (http://www.bigblueunlimited.com/), who generously sponsored Sir Patrick's Sirtrak Fastloc satellite tag. Sir Patrick was taken back to Big Blue's HQ where the tag was fitted and he was released back at Ocean Hole the next day.
