Climate change and the sea turtles in Cuba
Main Article Content
Abstract
Some evidence of the effects of climate change affecting marine turtle populations and their main habitats (mainly on nesting beaches) in the Cuban archipelago are presented. The paper emphasizes mainly on meteorological events occurred in recent years and its impact on nesting beaches, as well as the potential consequences of rising temperatures.
