A loss in the population

We just received news that one of the Jumby girls was found washed up on the beach at Blue Waters on mainland Antigua. She was tagged in 2003 and was only on her second nesting season and deposited one nest this year. The cause of death is unknown and the body has been buried. It is possible that she drowned, as there were no visible signs of injury.
