There are a few things that you must consider when nesting sea turtles are located near a barrier island. One thing is that when a mother lays her eggs you must make sure that all the lights are off so they don't get confused and walk the incorrect way. Also, you cannot boat close to the spawning grounds. A thing that needs to be determined is if there is a lot of wildlife and make sure there are no reefs. Also, must make sure that the are is not over populated.  One thing that might be a problem is that if it is to close to the water they might ruin some sand duns and a easy way to solve this problem is by not making a golf course to close the the ocean. You can be economically benefited by working for the local restaurants and the golf course. They can have a negative affect by ruining the sand dunes and by having to much light on at night and distracting the turtles. If we destroy the sand dunes then there is no better way to protect the main land. Sand dunes have worked better then any man maid barrier. After looking at other peoples groups i found that we should have made the research station closer the the turtle nest and would have made a better board walk.
