- Ultimately, sea turtles are in danger from the effects of climate change. Storms, rising temperatures, erosion, and water current change are all factors to their disruptive life cycle and well-being. As their habitats are destroyed, their migration patterns disturbed, and their gender ratios impacted, sea turtles are experiencing many negative effects from climate change. As humans have created this problem, it is important that they work towards a solution in order to help the many species, including sea turtles, that are suffering because of it. In doing so, there will be hope for a greater tomorrow.
