Sea turtles migrate long distances between feeding grounds and nesting beaches. Adult females return to their birth beaches to lay eggs. Pacific loggerheads breed on southern Japan beaches and travel far to feed, with a tagged individual found off Baja California after over 7,500 miles. Sightings extend from Chile to Alaska.
