- Description
- Sea turtles were once key species, driving the ecosystem process and energy flows, the past loss of their ecological roles, however has resulted in reduced ecosystem functionality through food web shifts and trophic cascades. Therefore understanding the past and present ecological roles of sea turtles is identified as one of the global research priorities for sea turtle management and conservation.
