Natural light is an important dispersal cue for marine turtle hatchlings, therefore artificial light
may have major impacts. This thesis investigated the effect of artificial light and …

We examined the effect of artificial light on the near shore trajectories of turtle hatchlings
dispersing from natal beaches. Green turtle (Chelonia mydas) hatchlings were tagged with …

After emerging from nests, neonate sea turtles entering the water are thought to orientate
away from shore using wave cues to guide them out to sea. Artificial light may interfere with …

The first hours of a sea turtle's emergence are a time of high vulnerability due to shoreline
predation and exposure to the harsh, high temperature beach environment. Within these …

Light pollution, associated with coastal development, poses a growing threat to sea turtles.
Hatchlings are particularly affected during their crawl to the ocean since they exhibit …

Artificial lighting disrupts sea turtle hatchling orientation from the nest to the sea. We studied
how a light-induced landward crawl affects the later ability of hatchlings to crawl to the sea …

It is well known that light pollution disrupts the early dispersal of marine turtles. But now, light
emitting diodes (LEDs) are replacing traditional lights, however, we know little about how …

Hatchling sea turtles (Caretta caretta) emerge from their beach nests at night and crawl
seaward immediately, even where the sea is not visible to them. This sea-finding ability of …

Artificial lighting disrupts sea turtle hatchling orientation from the nest to the sea. I studied
how a light-induced landward crawl affects the ability of hatchlings to later crawl to the sea …
