Flatback sea turtles travel from the coast of Australia, where they nest, to northeastern Australia, where they feed. They may travel up to 800 miles between trips. Very little research has been recorded on Hawksbills. Observers believe that they may have a short migration distance. However, nesting population is hard to determine because tracks in the sand are washed away quickly, and nests may be covered by beach vegetaion.
Loggerheads have a very short migratory distance.
They have only been recorded to travel 1 kilometer to .62 miles. They have been found in Southern Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina. The population is decreasing in some areas, but not in others. Black sea turtles only migrate along coasts, for feeding and nesting. Little is known on their population, but studies show a large decline.
