Tissue-specific accumulation and body burden of chlorinated, brominated, and fluorinated contaminants in sea turtles from Korean coastal waters

Frontiers in Marine Science
Few studies have been conducted on the accumulation of chlorinated, brominated, and fluorinated contaminants in sea turtles. In this study, legacy and emerging persistent organic pollutants (POPs) were measured in various organs and tissues of loggerhead

Oil spills and sea turtles: documented effects and considerations for response and assessment efforts

Endangered Species Research, 2020
Hydrocarbon (i.e. oil) extraction, transport, consumption, and pollution occur daily in marine environments, threatening vulnerable natural resources, habitats, and biodiversity. However, threats of episodic oil spills to imperiled marine species are not

Progressive changes in coral reef communities with increasing ocean acidification

Communications Biology
Ocean acidification from increasing atmospheric CO2 is progressively affecting seawater chemistry, but predicting ongoing and near-future consequences for marine ecosystems is challenging without empirical field data. Here we quantify tropical coral reef
