Sea Turtle Swimming in a Clean Ocean Coloring Page

A sea turtle swims right across the middle of the page with its head lifted toward the surface. The shell is the main event. It divides into a ring of border plates around a group of large central plates, and every plate is a closed shape, so the shell alone carries most of the areas on this sheet. The near front flipper has a row of short scallops along its trailing edge and the far one sits plain behind it. One rear flipper shows at the left. The eye is a solid black circle with a white highlight left in place. Two wavy lines cross the top of the sheet to mark the water surface, and a seabed line runs across the bottom. A small fish swims near the surface at upper left and a larger striped fish swims near the floor below it. Seaweed grows in two places, a single strand at the lower left and a thicker clump at the lower right. The water itself is empty white. Leave it that way or lay in a pale blue, because both read correctly. Nothing in this scene is dirty or damaged, and that is the quiet argument the page makes.
