Modern marine turtles belong to an ancient group of reptiles
inhabiting the Earth for over 110 million years, since the
Cretaceous. Marine turtles depend on both marine and terrestrial
habitats for their growth and development, from high energy beaches
to benthic reefs, and the open waters of the seas. All seven
species of sea turtles are listed on the International Union for
Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Animals (IUCN
2011). The threats facing sea turtles are many, both on land and at
sea, including habitat loss, predation, and human exploitation.
This book examines the ecology, behavior and conservation efforts
of sea turtles.
