RE: Sea turtles use temperature-dependent sex determination instead of the commonly used sex chromosome, but climate change have shifted some populations to hatching as 99.8 % females!

The numbers are very scary. 99%!!! Global warming is a major issue in the Great Barrier Reef. In Australia, it is one of the best places to visit but sadly it's not in its best condition and hasn't been for the past few years. Please check out my recent post on coral bleaching in the GBR. Almost all the coral has been severely damaged due to changes in sea temperatures.

Yeah, it's terrible! The Great Barrier Reef is one of the places that have been hit the worst so far from global warming, and sadly many more places will start to see similar effects in the coming years.

It's so sad! Visiting the Great Barrier Reef has been a childhood dream of mine, but at this point I probably won't be able to do it before it's gone :(

Me too! I've always wanted to go snorkelling to see all the marine life close up, but never got the chance to. I hope in the future when I do get to go, it'll still be there.

I wish you the best of luck with realizing this dream, @betrayerx!
