So they think it's good thing to go dig there and try find nest's! You idiot's find out how many is there after turtles come out of sell! Why not get excavator there and peel your self hole beach! Maybe you donk's find more, but no turtles come anymore.

Why don't they just leave them alone, and why does it need to be reported where the beach is?

If you bother to read the story it will become clear as to why.

Saying the nest was in danger because of high tides or stormy weather is rubbish, the eggs are laid deep in the sand, if that was the case the whole beach would be wiped out.

Moving turtle eggs is not the best option, disturbing them, disorientating them, not replacing them exactly how they were found will increase the mortality rate drastically.

Just leave them alone.
