University of Manchester scientists have discovered significant concentrations of microplastics in the male reproductive system of sea turtles. The scientists also found slightly less, but still ...

Scientists recently made a concerning discovery in the reproductive systems of male sea turtles: high concentrations of microplastics. Now, researchers worry these tiny plastic particles could ...

Sea turtle nesting season kicked off on the islands last month, with nests already popping up. April 15 marked the first day ...

To further pursue this interest I joined a Ph.D. program at Texas A&M under the guidance of Dave Owens (an expert on sea turtle biology and reproduction). Due to Dave’s insight, my general interest in ...

Rapid loss of beaches on Pritchards Island makes it difficult for nesting sea turtles to find a place for their eggs.

But sea level rise due to climate change threatens beach habitat. A new study predicts that turtle reproduction will be hard hit. Climate change is warming the earth. Ice is melting and sea levels ...

It faces similar challenges from erosion. Because sea turtles take about 25 years to reach reproductive maturity, scientists won’t see the effects of this lost habitat for decades, Pate said.
