Habitat

• The adult turtles are found in shallow, coastal waters, bays and lagoons.

• Males never leave the water, but females swim to shore to lay their eggs.

• They are found in the pacific, Atlantic and Indian oceans.

Migration • They migrate from feeding sites to

nesting grounds, normally on sandy beaches.

• They mate every 2 to 4 years, and normally takes place in shallow water near the sand.

• To nest, females leave the sea and choose an area, most of the time on the same beach used as their mothers, to lay eggs.
