All Hands - August 2001 - It Isn't easy being green (1667 words) |
 | Guantanamo Bay, or "GTMO" as the locals call it, is home to many endangered or threatened species, including the hawksbill turtle, the Cuban rock iguana, and a host of other plants and animals that are native only to the area in and around the base. |
| As is elsewhere in the Caribbean, one of the main threats to iguanas at GTMO is the large population of feral cats that eat an untold number of baby iguanas each year. |
| The researchers are doing intricate mapping of GTMO shores, taking into account the slope and the density of the sand to determine which species are best suited to which beach. |

| I finally found some photos of GTMO (pronounced Git-Mo) that were taken around 1985 or so. |
| The scenes in the movie that were supposed to be GTMO were actually Camp Pendleton, CA. |
| The beaches of GTMO are not spectacular, but the diving is. The reefs are virtually untouched and there are some magnificent formations. |
