Beach erosion and typhoons reduce green turtle nesting grounds on the Xisha Islands, South China Sea by Ting Zhang, Ting Zhang, Chenglong Zhang, Chenglong Zhang, Yupei Li, Yupei Li, Yangfei Yu, Yangfei Yu, Yangfei Yu, Xiaoyu An, Xiaoyu An, Yongkang Jiang, Yongkang Jiang, Jichao Wang, Jichao Wang, Liu Lin, Liu Lin, Hai-Tao Shi, Hai-Tao Shi

“…The peak nesting period of green turtles on North Island coincides with the frequent occurrence of typhoons in the South China Sea, causing tidal surges that inundate green turtle nests, resulting in an average nest loss rate of 35.25%.DiscussionBased on the above threats, it is recommended to promptly initiate habitat restoration in severely eroded areas of green turtle nesting grounds to prevent further declines in nesting area and quality. Additionally, measures such as nest relocation should be implemented to enhance green turtle reproductive success.…”
