thats a nice story, i wish they did more here for sea turtles :( here they think tape on 4 poles around a nest on a crowded beach is really gonne stop anyone :irked:


Protecting the natural nest and letting the young make it to the water on their own is actually the prefered way to do it. The struggle to climb out of the nest, tasting the sand (for navigational purposes later in life) and the run to the ocean are part of the natural process they are part of.
