As you've seen on the news, Google has launched Google Ocean, in which you can journey under the sea from your computer seat.

One of the creatures you might happen to see one day - admittedly you'd have to be quite lucky - is Tarly the loggerhead turtle.

Tarly was found in a bad way but was nursed back to health at Kelly Tarlton's. Now she's off on a special job to reveal more about about loggerhead turtles, a species that's nearly extinct.

Gill Higgins waved off this special agent as she took her spyware out to sea.

You can track Tarly's journey for yourself. For a weekly look at where she's heading, just go to: sirtrack.com and click on the map for the loggerhead turtle.
