"Climate Change Means 'Virtually No Male Turtles' Born in a Key Nesting Ground" is an article that expresses the concern of the decreasing population of the male green sea turtle population. Like most reptiles, the gender of turtles are defined by the temperature the eggs are at.

Thye are concerned that there may no longer be any male turtles in the future.
