What am I missing about "crossing the ocean" in both related movies?

In (non-direct cites):

  1. "Finding Nemo" (2003) they had to "cross the ocean" to reach Sydney and find Nemo, so I assumed they lived somewhere by US west coast.

  2. "Finding Dory" (2016) Dory would have to "cross the ocean" to live in California, so this suggests eastern coast of Australia or Asia in general or Japan or Oceania.

Best Answer

According to Wikipedia (as well as every other link when I searched), Marlin and Nemo live in an anemone in the Great Barrier Reef, Australia. The GBR is located off of the North Eastern coast of Australia. It's about 1200 nautical miles to Sydney, Australia, off the South Eastern coast. So while they don't have to cross the entire Pacific Ocean, Nemo still has quite a journey.

According to this article, as well as other search results, Dory lives with Nemo and Marlin in the GBR, but recalls that she comes from the Marine Life Institute at Jewel of Morro Bay, California, which is 'across the ocean', on the West coast of America.
