The Huntsville-Madison County Public Library is going on Turtle Watch! At their kick off party event, each library location adopted and named a turtle. We will be able to watch their paths as they swim through the ocean. See where your turtle is swimming now!
Most of these turtles were released at Cemetery Beach, which is in the town of Port Hedland, in Australia's Pilbara region. (See Port Hedland on a map, or more about Pilbara)
