If you are lucky enough to witness a sea turtle laying her eggs, here are the things you need to remember: - Do not disturb the marine turtle. Let her lay all of her eggs on her own. She will not need your help. - Remain silent and observe from a distance of at least 2 meters to avoid stressing the marine turtle. - Do not point lights or use flash photography on the sea turtle while she is laying her eggs. - Do not touch, pet, grab, or ride the marine turtle. - Do not touch the sea turtle nest. - Do not dig out or play with the sea turtle eggs as you could damage the yolk and kill the developing embryo. - Call the local authorities so the eggs can be protected. If the nest needs to be transferred to a safer area or needs protection from wild animals, they will know how to do this properly.
