Abstract Sea turtles are vulnerable to climate change since their reproductive output is influenced by incubating temperatures, with warmer temperatures causing lower hatching success and increased feminization of embryos. Their ability cope projected increases in ambient will depend on capacity adapt shifts climatic regimes. Here, we assessed the extent which phenological could mitigate impacts from (from 1.5 3°C air 1.4 2.3°C sea surface 2100 at our sites) four species turtles, under a...
The impact of human disturbance on wildlife behaviour has been widely reported. Often, these disturbances can disrupt crucial environmental cues vital for survival and reproduction. This study aimed to assess the altering presence hawksbill turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata) nesting beaches through closures re-openings. By conducting nocturnal patrols, staff quantified clutch counts each site. Different stretches coastline experienced various levels public accessibility. Between 2009 2023 an...
In the framework of Coral Management Plan for North Field Expansion Project (NFE) and Production Sustainability (NFPS), Qatargas has partnered with Environmental Science Center (ESC) to develop first land-based coral nursery in Qatar. This plan includes extraction 1000 corals’ colonies from NFPS NFE pipeline corridors, north Ras Laffan, hence their transportation facility, rehabilitation under controlled husbandry conditions, fragmentation, out-plantation carefully selected recipient sites...
