Record number of sea turtle sightings in BC waters!

More than 10 sea turtle sightings have been reported to our Sightings Network this summer.   Reporting your sightings helps us to know when these gentle giants are visiting our waters, how often they are coming and what they are doing while they are here.

If you have seen a sea turtle in or around BC waters, please send us a report.  You can now report online, or you can call our toll-free sightings phone line:   1-866-I SAW ONE (1-866-472-9663).
