Abstract: Using models and ecological data, this study shows that the eastern Pacific Ocean population of leatherback sea turtles could well face extirpation owing to climate change. However, the findings indicate that it may be possible to sustain a viable nesting population in Costa Rica throughout this century by cooling nests.
