Here are the most recent data points from our travelling turtles. As you continue to track the loggerheads with scientists Standora and Morreale, watch carefully for patterns in their movements. Remember that you will be receiving new turtle data every week. Be sure to compare all the previous data to the new data each week. This will help you see trends and patterns.
