cleaning, vehicular traffic, construction and+ ' to get information on hatching success. The ecavation and inventory of a!ost-emergent nest com!oses a successful evaluation of hatching as it would ascertain the outcome of each egg. ince turtle

eggs are e!osed to different incubation environments, where mostly are influenced by human activities, it is recommended

that nest inventories be !erformed within the survey area each year. /isoriented live hatchlings or those found at the bottom

of ecavated nests would need to be rescued and assured that their release or journey from the beach into the sea is safe.

There are a host of !redators such as dogs, cats, rats, ants, birds and monitor lizards where sea turtle eggs and hatchlings

are highly vulnerable with. Therefore it would be necessary to kee! the beaches clean and alarm the !ubic to remove

accumulated organic debris and the !ro!er waste dis!osal in order to avoid attracting more !redators that threaten the

incubating eggs and hatchlings. To !rotect threatened nests from !redators, a self-releasing screen may be !laced over

them. Another way of !rotecting nests at high risk of !redation and0or disorientation due to artificial lighting is to !lace a self-

releasing or restraining cage over the threatened nest.
