I am new to PBV and I know there are turtle protectors locally but I don't know their contact info. We had a turtle come up and lay eggs last night and I want to make sure they are safe. We have ATVs, motorcycles and horses go by and they might get destroyed or stolen.

Thanks in advance.

Try to erase the tracks so that poachers don't get them, and keep an eye out for dogs who are the worst culprits. Mapaches and tejones can also be a problem, but dogs and humans are the worst. You could also loosely cover the site with a tree branch that will block people from riding horses or ATV's over them (motorized vehicles are supposed to be banned from the beaches by federal law) while still allowing sunlight to warm the sand.
