Sea turtles live in all oceans except the arctic ocean. They also live in many warm seas. There are even sea turtles which live in cold Canadian seas. The Vancouver Aquarium website states:

There are eight species of Sea Turtles that are divided into two Family groups.

  • Family Dermochelyidae, contains one species of sea turtle.

    Leatherback sea turtles, Dermochelys coriacea, are found in all oceans, from Labrador, Iceland and Alaska to Argentina and Australia.

  • Family Cheloniidae contains five genera, and possibly seven species of sea turtles.
  • ** Green sea turtles, Chelonia mydas, are found mainly in warm oceans; C. agassizii inhabits the Indian and the warmer waters of the Pacific Ocean.
    • Loggerhead turtles, Caretta caretta, are found in tropical and subtropical waters.
    • Hawksbill sea turtles, Eretmochelys imbricata, live in the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans.
    • Kemp's ridley, Lepidochelys kempii, lives in the Atlantic;

      Olive ridley, L. olivacea, is found in the Pacific.
