A SEA TURTLE'S JOURNEY in the May Issue of BLAST OFF (The School Magazine, Australia)

I was pleased to have my article A Sea Turtle's Journey published in the May issue of BLAST OFF, one of the school magazines published by the New South Wales Department of Education in Australia. This issue explores the theme of marvelous journeys and migrations of people and animals.

My article focuses on green sea turtles that live along the coasts of northern Australia. They migrate between their nesting beaches and their feeding grounds along the Australian coast and nearby islands.

Some turtles swim more than two thousand kilometers each way! (Green sea turtles can also be seen elsewhere in the Pacific, including on the beaches of Hawaii.)
