Threats on sea turtles

Threats:

- continuing loss of nesting habitat & environmental damages from structure building

- tourist use of beaches result in disturbance to nesting turtles

(Egg laying can be aborted or delayed as well)

- Artificial lighting has negative effects on nesting behaviour and success

(turtles can mistakenly move inland after egg laying)

- practice of adding sand onto a beach to rebuild affects turtles by direct burial of nests

- mechanical equipment for beach cleaning that result compacted beaches that are difficult for nesting

- predators

main: Homo sapiens

others: raccoons, sharks, gulls, foxes, snakes.....)

- dirty environment

(rubbish in sea or land, oil and gas)

Turtles

Hawksbill Turtle Research

Description:

-Juveniles are black or very dark brown with light brown or yellow coloration on the edge of the shell, limbs, and raised ridges of the carapace

-adults more commonly average about 2½ feet in length (<1 m)

-shell is thin

-flexible

-highly colored with elaborate patterns

-thick & posteriorly overlapping scutes on the carapace

-narrow pointed beak reminiscent of a bird of prey

-four pairs of costal scutes

-weighing 40-60 kg

-streaked and marbled with amber, yellow or brown

Habitat

-uses different habitats at different stages of their life cycle

-shelter in weedlines around convergence zones

-post hatching hawksbills are pelagic (sea floor)

-sargassum and floating debris such as Styrofoam, tar balls, and plastic bits serve as a habitat for Hawksbill

-when they reach about 20-25 cm carapace length Hawksbills reenter coastal waters

-ledges and caves of reef systems provide these turtles with shelter for resting

-can be found rocky areas, coral reefs, shallow coastal areas, lagoons or oceanic islands, and narrow creeks and passes

-seldom seen in water deeper than 65 feet

-Adult females are able to climb over reefs and rocks to nest in beach vegetation

Reproduction

-6 month nesting season (longer than that of other sea turtles)

-nest on average 4.5 times a season and intervals of about 14 days

-Eggs are about 40 mm in diameter and take about 60 days to hatch

-sex determination is likely temperature-dependent

Diet

-adapted for getting food from crevices in coral reefs

-sponges, tunicates, shrimps, and squids
