(Phys.org)—A trio of researchers, two from the U.S. and one from Greece, has found evidence that suggests green turtles may soon stop basking on Pacific beaches. In their paper published in The Royal Society Biology Letters, Kyle Van Houtan, John Halley and Wendy Marks describe a six year study of the sea turtles they conducted and why they believe the turtles will soon stop venturing onto beaches.
