Marine Reptiles
Ectotherms (“cold-blooded”), so mostly in warmer waters, seasonal in temperate waters Cold stunning –
• Turtles too far north when water temperature suddenly drops (<50°F)
• Get lethargic, immobile, float to surface, wash up on beach
• Fatal if not warmed

Mating- at seaMigration- occurs in late spring; female is accompanied by male
Green sea turtles migrate as far as 800 miles from feeding area to nest in Northwestern Hawaiian Islands
Egg laying behavior- return to same beach (natal beach)
![Page 18: Marine turtle Marine Reptiles Marine iguana Sea snake Saltwater crocodile Some reinvaded the oceans, but still breathe air: Turtles (Order Chelonia) Snakes](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649cdf5503460f949a9014/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Kemps Ridley nesting
• Usually nest at night
• Front flippers dig pit, rear flippers carve out burrow
![Page 19: Marine turtle Marine Reptiles Marine iguana Sea snake Saltwater crocodile Some reinvaded the oceans, but still breathe air: Turtles (Order Chelonia) Snakes](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649cdf5503460f949a9014/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Turtle nestCross section
Egg tooth- used to chip away at shell
Group effort to get out of nest- emerge at night (safer) and head towards brightest light
Artificial lights- confuse hatchlings
![Page 20: Marine turtle Marine Reptiles Marine iguana Sea snake Saltwater crocodile Some reinvaded the oceans, but still breathe air: Turtles (Order Chelonia) Snakes](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649cdf5503460f949a9014/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Incidental Marine Turtle Catches
![Page 21: Marine turtle Marine Reptiles Marine iguana Sea snake Saltwater crocodile Some reinvaded the oceans, but still breathe air: Turtles (Order Chelonia) Snakes](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649cdf5503460f949a9014/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Marine Debris- plastic bags, soda can plastic rings, fishing line, oil and tar
Costal development and habitat degradation- noise, light, beach obstructions- affect nesting habitat
![Page 22: Marine turtle Marine Reptiles Marine iguana Sea snake Saltwater crocodile Some reinvaded the oceans, but still breathe air: Turtles (Order Chelonia) Snakes](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649cdf5503460f949a9014/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Fibropapilloma- virus in Green turtles
•Affects ability to feed, see, move about, or breath
•May be due to pollutants, blood parasites, or habitat change
•Kaneohe Bay (1991)- >50% infected
![Page 23: Marine turtle Marine Reptiles Marine iguana Sea snake Saltwater crocodile Some reinvaded the oceans, but still breathe air: Turtles (Order Chelonia) Snakes](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649cdf5503460f949a9014/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Clutch size- about 100 eggs & covers pit with sand
Egg incubation- 2 months depending upon species
Sex determined by temperature- males lower temp, females higher temp

• Meat• Eggs- nearly forbidden in all countries
with nesting beaches• Soup• Jewelry• Leather
Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES): turtle commerce prohibited in countries that signed agreement

Law enforcement- in Hawaii, turtles protected under Endangered Species Act•Riding or harassing- $100,000 fine + prison time•Bringing turtle products into Hawaii- $20,000 + prison time
![Page 28: Marine turtle Marine Reptiles Marine iguana Sea snake Saltwater crocodile Some reinvaded the oceans, but still breathe air: Turtles (Order Chelonia) Snakes](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649cdf5503460f949a9014/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Increase sea turtle populations:•Ranching- eggs or hatchlings from wild populations•Farming- originally from wild populations, for breeding stock

Fishing regulations- •Shrimp Trawlers - incidental catch by commercial shrimp fish nets: drowned 10,000 turtles each year•Drift nets, gill nets •Turtle Excluder Device (TED)

Inquiry1. What is a natal beach?2. What advantage is there in
turtle hatchlings leaving in a group rather than individually?
3. Are the consequences for harassing a turtle adequate?
4. How does the fibropapilloma virus effect green sea turtles?
5. What is a TED?
How do marine turtles regulate
salt in their body?
