Sea turtles are threatened and endangered throughout their natural range due to various anthropogenic interferences‚ such as poaching and habitat destruction (World… c2016). Sea turtles provide many ecological benefits‚ such as acting as distributors of nutrients and sculptors of both terrestrial and marine substrate (Mancini et al. 2011). However‚ global climate change is threatening sea turtle populations’ ability to continue to provide these benefits (Mancini et al. 2011). Beach habitat loss due

Loggerhead turtles have many significant adaptations to their current and past environments. Turtles of the family Cheloniidae have various morphological adaptations for aquatic life. Early turtles lost the capacity for aquatic propulsion by body and tail undulations when they developed a shortened‚ more rigid body form during the Triassic‚ as an adaptation for armored resistance to attack by predators.

have done studies on the population genetics of the green sea turtle. Through their DNA research‚ it was discovered that human impact has drastically reduced the genetic diversity within the green sea turtle population. In the future‚ this can prevent the reptiles from adapting and evolving because the ones that are left are extremely alike. A natural disaster or a catastrophic event can greatly diminish the number of living green sea turtles‚ triggering their approaching extinction. Even in the population
