TURTLE OBSERVATION FORM

The Alaska Herpetological Society (AHS) is attempting to track the frequency of Sea Turtle sightings across Alaska. If you have had the privilege of seeing a turtle in Alaska's waters or beaches, please take the time to tell us about your observation. We want to know about both live and dead animal observations, including pieces of shells that washed ashore.
