# Sea Turtle Sex Crisis: Why 99% Are Now Female

[Link →](https://mazingamazingly.blogspot.com/2026/08/sea-turtle-sex-crisis-why-99-are-now.html)

> Sand temperatures above 29°C now produce 95–99% female sea turtles instead of the historical 50–50 ratio, creating a reproductive bottleneck that could collapse populations within two generations.

Was [Mikroplastik für die Feritilität beim Menschen](https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0147651325012849) ist, scheint warmer Sand für Meeresschildkröten zu sein. Und vermutlich auch für andere (Meeres-)Tiere. Und ich verspüre jetzt nochmal den Drang, »Children of Men« zu gucken. Scheint nochmal relevanter zu werden.
