*Hi, recently I took a trip to St. Croix and was told there was a group I could join to help the Sea Turtle's. The person at the information center mentioned that the I had just missed the Leatherbacks on I believe it was Buck Island. Since I have a friend down there and did not know at the time this was possible I would like to find out some more information and plan another trip.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Thank-You

I would say your best bet would be to contact the National Park Service that oversees Buck Island Marine Reserve.

I couldn't find the number. I found several web sites when I searched for Buck Island, St. Croix in Yahoo - so you might try that for more information. I will see if I can find the number, or perhaps if someone else has that number for St. Croix's office they can help out too.
