We always knew Red-billed Tropicbirds nest along cliffs at the Pillories 🏝️—but imagine our surprise when we found a nest tucked under vegetation! 🍃 They usually nest on exposed faces, so this was a rare find. 👀 Can you spot the chick? #EPICIslands #SVG #SeabirdScience

The West Indian Top Shell is a striking, edible marine snail found across the Caribbean. 🐚 Once heavily harvested, it’s now protected in many places due to population declines. Conservation measures are helping it bounce back! 🌊 #EPICCaribbeanTrivia #MarineConservation

The Hawksbill Sea Turtle is 1 of 6 species found in the Caribbean. 🐢 Vital for reef health, they’re also critically endangered due to habitat loss, pollution & illegal trade. Protecting reefs & nesting beaches is key to their survival. 🌊 #EPICCaribbeanTrivia #SeaTurtles
