Climate change and marine turtles

Abstract

Climate change is increasingly being seen as a ubiquitous issue across the globe. The current and potential impacts of climate change on society and ecology, positive, negative, or neutral, are of utmost and increasing importance. As such, climate change spans all disciplines of science and policy. From a science perspective, climate change research has made substantial progress over the past two to three decades, with compelling evidence of a warming planet and changes to ecological and social systems (Harley et al., 2006; Hoegh-Guldberg and Bruno, 2010; Walther et al., 2002a, b).
