Exposure of Loggerhead Sea Turtle Nests to Waves in the Florida Panhandle [PDF]
Remote Sensing, 2021 Wave wash-over poses a significant threat to sea turtle nests, with sustained exposure to waves potentially resulting in embryonic mortality and altered hatchling locomotor function, size, and sex ratios. Identifying where and under what conditions wave exposure becomes a problem, and deciding what action(s) to take (if any), is a common issue for sea ...
