Virtual Nim's Island Scavenger Hunt

turtleAll seven species of sea turtles are listed as threatened or endangered, and they are threatened by marine debris, like floating plastics in the ocean that they mistake for one of their food sources, jellies.

Your next task is to find one of Nim's other best friends that is found in the kelp forests off the West Coast of the United States. Hint: These ocean animals use their speed and maneuverability to catch an assortment of small fish and squid. Once on the land, they are known to gather in large groups and make loud sounds, similar to dogs barking. Search in the Channel Islands encyclopedia.
