Ranger groups from across the Northern Territory say turtle numbers are declining, as rising sea levels are drowning nests and eggs are being cooked in higher temperatures.
abc.net.au/news/nt-marine-rangers-climate-change-turtles-sea-level-temperature/101981606Tiwi Islands Indigenous marine ranger supervisor James De Santis has been monitoring the remote coastline of his home for 30 years.
"I've seen a lot of difference in over 30 years, not just being a ranger, being a local, and there's a big change." "We're worried they're getting hurt by marine debris and ghost nets, so we are removing those," she said. "The sea level is rising and some of the casuarina trees are being washed away now because of the climate change, I'm pretty worried that it will keep rising," she said.
