Water for wildlife and people on Cousin Island
In a previous article, we wrote about the effects of climate change on Cousin Island's turtle habitats and infrastructure. The turtle team continues to grapple with the problem of turtles emerging from the sea and being unable to find a suitable spot to nest because the beach is severely eroded. They either turn back because they can't climb steep slopes or nest below the tide line where their eggs are at risk of being washed away.
