Characteristics which identify juvenile loggerhead, green and Kemp's ridley sea turtles can be difficult to observe on a live, swimming turtle. Therefore each sighting plotted here represents one of the three species, but identification is not certain.

 

The species can also be found by clicking on the icons in the map.

Sighting Maps

The map shows the locations of all called-in 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.
