Sea water temperature tests to see impact on turtle population
The Marine and Coastal Resources Department is monitoring sea water temperatures at five major turtle nesting grounds to study the impact of global warming on their population. The targeted areas are Koh Surin, the Similan islands, Tai Maung beach and Prathong beach in Phangnga, and Koh Kram in Chon Buri province. The move comes after international marine biologists recently found evidence that a rise of just one degree Celsius in sea water temperatures can stop the development of male turtles.
