Progress on the Impact of Persistent Pollutants on Marine Turtles. A Review
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023 The review examines the most recent advances on the effect of persistent pollutants on sea turtles. Research on this topic is still limited, especially that related to toxicity, since they are protected species and in vivo toxicity studies are difficult,

Plastic Pollution and Small Juvenile Marine Turtles: A Potential Evolutionary Trap
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 The ingestion of plastic by marine turtles is now reported for all species. Small juvenile turtles (including post-hatchling and oceanic juveniles) are thought to be most at risk, due to feeding preferences and overlap with areas of high plastic ...

Plastic ingestion by freshwater turtles: a review and call to action
Scientific Reports, 2021 Plastic pollution, and especially plastic ingestion by animals, is a serious global issue. This problem is well documented in marine systems, but it is relatively understudied in freshwater systems.

Island-finding ability of marine turtles [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences, 2003 Green turtles (Chelonia mydas) swim from foraging grounds along the Brazilian coast to Ascension Island to nest, over 2200 km distant in the middle of the equatorial Atlantic. To test the hypothesis that turtles use wind-borne cues to locate Ascension Island we found turtles that had just completed nesting and then moved three individuals 50 km ...

An assessment of marine turtle population status and conservation in Cambodia
Oryx, 2023 Cambodian waters historically supported significant nesting populations of marine turtles up to the early 20th century. However, although fishing and coastal development have intensified, marine turtle conservation has received little recent attention ...

Bacterial Infections in Sea Turtles
Veterinary Sciences, 2023 Sea turtles are important for the maintenance of marine and beach ecosystems, but they are seriously endangered due to factors mainly related to human activities and climate change such as pollution, temperature increase, and predation.
