    Most of the events I have seen are done on the day that the turtles hatch or close to it Due to the extensive development in the area, the ecological police HAVE to protect the eggs so the “natural” leaving of the eggs and waiting for them to hatch is no longer possible. When I first moved here you people would actually be selling the turtle eggs here – now that is very against the law.

    That said, I think that in general, the goal of preserving the species as much has can be done despite all the development includes making people aware of what is going on and for that reason these “release” events are important. I would defer to an expert opinion as I certainly am not an expert.
