Sand temperature at 50 cm depth estimated for Cape Domett under four climate change scenarios: (A and B) 2030 low and high emissions, (C and D) 2070 low and high emissions (solid lines). In each case, sand temperatures in 2007 (dotted lines) are shown for comparison. Horizontal dashed lines show the bounds of the TRT, while grey or hatched boxes indicate the periods that would favour the production of male or mixed-sex hatchlings, respectively, under each scenario. The upper limit of the shaded and hatched boxes indicates a potential upper limit of 35°C for embryonic viability. The red dashed bar indicates the nesting season with the solid portion indicating peak nesting [21].
