Hello Again, Turtle Trackers!!!
We've received some brand new location data for the loggerhead turtles and we put this data below. As before, be sure to chart the movements of the turtles in this new data and compare it with their movements in the prior data. Do you notice any interesting changes in the path or direction of any of the turtles?

Challenge Question #10--AGAIN!!
We haven't received many responses to last week's CQ #10 yet, so we are going to ask it again.
Using the table below and the atlas you used last week for ocean depth:
"What is the depth of the ocean area where each turtle was swimming on the date and location shown in the table below?"(You don't have to give the exact depth--it is fine to give a range of how deep the ocean is in these areas.)
Turtle # Date Lat Long How Deep?
