Apart from helping to collect data on nesting females and on nests, he also deployed 25 thermologgers (small devices that measures sand temperature) on the different islands of the atol<\/span><span lang=\"en-US\">l. The data collected from these devices will follow up with temperature data that have been collected in the past year through this project.\u00a0<\/span>Our objective is to record sand temperature in the nest during several nesting seasons, in order to better\u00a0understand the risks linked to climate change on sea turtles population. Indeed, the incubation temperature of a sea turtle nest has important implications on hatchling sex ratios.<\/span><\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; color: #000000;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">This is one more step for the research that will help us to better know them.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; color: #000000;\"><span lang=\"en-US\">This project\u00a0 would not have been possible without the generous support of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.airtahitinui.com\/\">Air Tahiti nui <\/a>that made it possible for Jacques-Olivier Lalo\u00eb to travel to French Polynesia.
