Sighting Maps

The map shows the locations of all reported sightings of sea turtles since the hotline began in 2002. The map can be dragged using a mouse to show different areas. A viewer can also zoom in or out either by using the mouse scroll wheel or by adjusting the slider bar on the left side of the map.

Clicking on a sighting icon in the map will provide information about that specific sighting.
