a)Thermal pollution many times called
enirchment of thermal which means the level
of water quality have been going low over
time by any process that would changes
water temperature.
b) Pollutants might cause immediate harm
to sea turtles through directt contact or in
some cases side neck turtle can build up in
tissues over time and leads to
immunosuppression resulting in disease and
many times death. Here our species were
also affects by ingesting waste food
contaminated plastic by oil or more worse tar
balls.
c) Ingesting the tiny particles of plastic is an
high threat to the side neck turtles as well as
for hatchlings. Here the presence of plastic
could also increase the temperature of the
sand and which results in problems faces
during the time of hatching.
d) climate change was exposes our species
turtles to even larger existential threats. Sea
level increases & powerful storms would
erode as well as destroy their beach habitats.
Warming oceans would change ocean
currents as well as potentially introduces but
here not only our one all the sea turtles to a
new predators & destroy the coral reefs.
e) Main reason are us behind this . Because
we Slaughtered not only side neck turtle but
many of them for their eggs and meat & skin
as well as shells for jewllery. Our species
turtles suffering from poaching &
overexploitation and many times They also
face habitat destruction & accidental capture
which is known as bycatch in fishing knot or
gear.
