Sea level rise could result in the loss and shrinkage of coastal habitats, jeopardizing the
persistence of a number of species that rely upon these highly dynamic and sensitive areas …

Extreme regional ocean warming events, like marine heatwaves (MHWs), could have severe
and long-lasting impacts on species and ecosystems. Extreme and persistent warming of the …

The globally significant green turtle (Chelonia mydas) population in the northern Great
Barrier Reef is threatened by anthropogenic pressures, including climate change, habitat …

Marine turtles exhibit temperature-dependent sex determination (TSD), and there is

The highly biodiverse, productive and vulnerable areas, such as coastal wetlands, are
increasingly threatened by human-induced disturbances, resulting in habitat loss. This …

Yalimapo beach, near the Maroni River estuary in French Guiana, is an important turtle
nesting site. The interaction of massive mud banks migrating alongshore from the distant …

Sandy areas between rocky uplands, or natural pocket beaches, provide important habitat
for coastal wildlife. On developed coasts, similar sandy areas, called urban pocket beaches …
