The Importance of Coral Reef Ecosystems for Juvenile Sea Turtle Survival
The Importance of Coral Reef Ecosystems for Juvenile Sea Turtle Survival
Coral reef ecosystems support a large proportion of marine biodiversity and play an important role in the life cycles of many marine species. This paper explores the ecological relationship between coral reef habitats and juvenile sea turtles, focusing on how reefs provide food resources, structural refuge, and developmental habitats during a vulnerable stage of turtle life history. The study highlights how reef degradation caused by climate change, pollution, and coral bleaching may influence juvenile turtle survival and broader marine ecosystem stability.
