Abstract

This review will show that without sea turtle nest relocation programs, many hatchlings would never survive. Relocation practices are vital to the success potential of turtle eggs on a large number of Florida beaches. Properly managed relocation programs have provided comparable or, in some instances, greater hatching success rates than nests left in situ (Flynn, 1992).
