so after the turtle goes back to the ocean the researchers un-bury the eggs and count them and then safely put them back. Its all part of the routine to keep track of all the turtles and how many hatchlings hopefully make it back to the ocean and such. Some sea turtles or on the edge of extinction. So its all part of saving the turtles. Our turtle layed 58 eggs. This is a pic of the researcher taking the eggs out of the nest. It was hard to get a good pic since there were probably 60 people or so circled around the nest. I highly recommend this experience for anyone who is able to make it to Australia.
