description:
|
The terrestrial nesting habitat of sea turtles is characterized by distinct climatic conditions, which are linked to the physical conditions necessary for eggs to hatch successfully and allow hatchlings to disperse from natal areas. The Gulf of Mexico region supports high nesting diversity. Despite large overlap in nesting distributions among species, loggerhead and green turtles have the broadest environmental niches, while Kemp’s ridley and flatback turtles have very narrow niches. This map shows the predicted habitat suitability of six sea turtle species - green sea turtles, hawksbill sea turtles, Kemp's Ridley sea turtles, leatherback sea turtles, and loggerhead sea turtles. |
