Sea turtles, one of the most ancient species of our world have truly stood the test of time. They have seen human civilisations rise and fall, inspired ocean deities across cultures, and baffled scientists with their unique instincts - one of which is a hatchling's impulse to orient itself in the direction of the sea, straight from its nest. In an effort to uncover the mysterious lives of these se... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Rethinking Sea Turtle Conservation (Part 1) – With Dr Kartik Shanker
Q: What do you feel are the most significant threats that turtles face?
The biggest concern is the overarching global drivers of environmental change, including climate change and coastal development, while local threats like trawling also play a role, but they might not significantly impact population sizes as turtles are increasing.
Tackling Turtle Bycatch - With Dr Joanna Alfaro
Q: What can the fishermen do to prevent that?
Fishermen can release turtles as quickly as possible to improve their chances of survival, and they should handle the turtles carefully to avoid causing injuries.
Tackling Turtle Bycatch - With Dr Joanna Alfaro
Q: What exactly is bycatch, and why is it so important that we study it in the context of sea turtle conservation?
Bycatch refers to the unintended capture of non-target species, such as turtles, during fishing operations, which poses a significant threat to sea turtle populations globally.
'Eggsploring' Hatching Failure - With Alessia Lavigne
Q: What are some of the causes that we know of early embryonic death?
Early embryonic death could be caused by pollution, increased global temperatures, and genetic issues due to inbreeding in small populations.
'Eggsploring' Hatching Failure - With Alessia Lavigne
Q: What actually are you doing to identify whether these eggs are fertile or not? What is the process?
We dissect a part of the egg containing the yolk and use fluorescent dyes to stain nuclei, which allows us to identify if embryonic or sperm cells are present.
