| The area marine scientist, Dr. Loggers, just completed a research study about Fibropapilloma tumors, a disease plaguing green sea turtles, but spreading to other sea turtle species. Although the cause of the tumors is not certain, it is thought that a virus may be the source of the illness. The disease has been documented and found in turtles off the coasts of Barbados, Florida, and Hawaii. Dr. Loggers, upon inspecting turtles in the Fanny Beach area, has concluded that the disease does not appear to be plaguing the Fanny Beach area turtle population. |

| Local TWC (Turtle Watch Club) members report nests to be unharmed by natural or human predators. Out of the 8 known nests in the area, only one nest seems to have been ransacked by local wildlife. This evidence shows that natural predators are not the culprit in the recent turtle decline. |
