This thesis is a series of investigations examining how variation in incubation conditions impacts the development and hatching success of sea turtle embryos and how management interventions intended to combat climate change may affect sea turtle populations. This work contributes new knowledge about the ecophysiology of sea turtle embryos and informs sea turtle conservation efforts aimed at reducing the impact of rapidly changing environmental conditions at nesting beaches.
