Cayman Island Green and Loggerhead Sea Turtle Populations RecoveringValerie Varnuska
Westbury, New York area resident Valerie Varnuska enjoys diverse personal interests, including cooking and performing arts. Valerie Varnuska spends time walking outdoors and learning about nature.
ScienceDaily recently reported on a nature-related research study completed by the Cayman Islands Department of Environment and the University of Exeter on sea turtle populations in the Cayman Islands. The study, which took place from 1998 to 2019, showed that loggerhead and green turtle populations, which were nearing extinction at the start of the research initiative, are now growing.
The number of loggerhead and green turtles on the islands has increased due to captive breeding programs and strategies that help protect the turtles. For example, illegal turtle hunting was reduced due to conservation officers patrolling nesting beaches, and restrictions were implemented to prevent the activities of a turtle fishery.
Loggerhead and green turtle populations are still lower than normal compared to historical records indicating the number of animals in the islands. Prior to the early 1800s, the Cayman Islands were home to the largest number of nesting sea turtles in the world.
Learn the benefits of returning salmon carcasses to historical spawning grounds. Marine derived nutrients for the win! Here is the link for the second slide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qV30UZ9aF04
It's a sweet music video about the life cycle of salmon but sang to the tune of I Will Survive!

Dear Mr. Hodgkins:
I was actively searching for summer work opportunities on the Student Conservation Association website,
when I was attracted to your posting for a Native Trout Conservation Internship at Yellowstone National
Park. This posting excited me because my qualifications match the requirements for this position exactly.
My education in Marine Fisheries and Marine Biology prepared me to collect data in the field and to
utilize correct fisheries procedures. I took courses including Fisheries Management,Wildlife
Conservation and Restoration, Field Ichthyology, and other courses targeting applied fisheries techniques
during my studies. I also collected data on black bear behavior as a Wildlife Conservation Intern at
Philmont Scout Ranch during the summer of 2017.
I guided hiking treks for Philmont Scout Ranch as a Backcountry Ranger during the summer of 2016. I
thoroughly enjoy mountain climbing and hiking trips in Colorado. My eight years of competitive
swimming experience prepared me for water-based working environments.
Mr. Hodgkins, I am sincerely interested in the internship opportunity at Yellowstone National Park,and I
will enthusiastically apply my skills as a Native Trout Conservation Intern. Please call me at (940) 923-
8649 if you would like to discuss my application. Thank you for your time, and I look forward to hearing
from you.
Sincerely,
Joshua Porter
