TurtleWatch is a map providing up-to-date information about the thermal habitat of loggerhead sea turtles in the Pacific Ocean north of the Hawaiian Islands. It was created as an experimental product by Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center to help reduce inadvertent interactions between Hawaii-based longline fishing vessels and sea turtles. Derived from the best available scientific information, the TurtleWatch map displays sea surface temperature and the predicted location of waters preferred by the turtles.
