From: Uncertain future for global sea turtle populations in face of sea level rise
Predictions of sea turtle nest flooding in a subset of rookeries. Sites include (a) Florida (USA) (2050 and 2100), (b) Cuba (2050), and (c) St Eustatius (three species, 2050). Column 1: Proportion of nests likely to be flooded at each location. Column 2: Heatmap of nests predicted to be free from flooding by 2050. Column 3: Heatmap of nests predicted to be flooded by 2050, identifying the areas at highest risk. Probability values of 1 (yellow), 0.5 (blue) and 0 (purple) represent the density of unflooded or flooded nests within respective heatmaps. A Climate Central moderate scenario was adopted for these scenarios (Kopp et al. 2017).
