Research by SPOT Marine Life has shown that since 1993, loggerhead sea turtles have been laying their eggs 0.78 days earlier each year. This helps them adapt to rising temperatures.
If this trend does not continue, their eggs may stop hatching after 2100. Turtles usually return to the same beaches where they were born, and temperature influences the sex of their offspring. Further warming could threaten the healthy development of embryos.
Analysis of data from Alagadi Beach since 1992 suggests that to maintain stable nest temperatures and sex ratios, turtles need to start nesting 0.5 days earlier each year. To ensure successful hatching, this figure should be 0.7 days.
According to SPOT Marine Life, turtles are currently adapting, but it remains uncertain whether they can cope with accelerating climate change. The organization emphasizes the importance of conservation efforts to protect wildlife.
