Climate Change Is Impacting The Gender Outcome Of Sea Turtles

The video discusses the impact of climate change on sea turtles, particularly how rising sand temperatures on Florida beaches have led to a skewed gender ratio with more female turtles being born. This is due to the temperature-dependent sex determination in turtles. The potential long-term effects on turtle populations are concerning, as a lack of male turtles could threaten the species' survival. Solutions such as artificial hatcheries and possible evolutionary adaptations are considered. The Turtle Hospital in Florida plays a crucial role in rescuing and rehabilitating turtles affected by human and natural threats.
