Question

Sea turtles are found in the waters of Georgia. Building on the coast has destroyed their nesting sites. How will this MOST LIKELY affect the sea turtles usually found on the Georgia coast?
A) The turtles will begin laying more eggs.
B) The turtles will build nests in other places.
C) The turtles will no longer be found in Georgia.
D) This will not affect the number of turtles in Georgia.

Answer 1

The correct answer is option C, that is, the turtles will no longer be found in Georgia.  

Due to the presence of protected dunes and temperate climate appropriate for nesting activities, the barrier island beaches of Georgia host an average of 1000 sea turtles nests in a year.  

However, the main danger to sea turtles in Georgia is the damage of their eggs and nests and offshore mortalities related to commercial longline fishing or shrimping activities. With the development going on in the coastal regions where the turtles thrive, a time will come when one will no longer witness any turtle along the coast of Georgia.  

Answer 2

Answer:

C

The turtles will no longer be found in Georgia.
