Successful egg incubation is an essential component for the continued survival of sea turtles. Nevertheless, eggs are susceptible to a variety of natural and man-made pressures while they are incubating in the sand. One such pressure is disturbance of the eggs due to harvesting. For instance, as a way to balance the needs of the community with protection measures, some sea turtle projects accept a portion of harvested eggs for reburial in hatcheries (e.g. Hasbun and Melara 1994). The general idea is that at least some of the eggs will be protected and will eventually produce hatchlings.
