许多筑巢中的第一只已经到达考辛岛，标志着它们筑巢季节的开始。 对该极度濒危物种的监视是该岛保护团队的主要重点之一。 从海滩上遇到的每只雌性身上收集重要数据，例如标签编号，甲壳长度和巢式离合器大小，以便确定塞舌尔人口的变化。
Cousine的海滩也非常活跃，其海滩界面的大小会根据季节和风向而变化。 小组将被视为“不安全”区域的巢穴重新安置到无捕食者的孵化场，一旦孵化出幼雏，它们就会被释放到海洋中以开始成年之旅。 Cousine Island保护团队说，他们希望本赛季将是另一个成功的故事，与往年相比，孵化出更多的幼体。
从这篇文章中可以得到什么：
- Nests that are laid in an area deemed ‘unsafe' are relocated by the team to a predator-free hatchery and once the hatchlings have emerged they are released into the ocean to start their journey to adulthood.
- Important data, such as tag numbers, carapace length and nest clutch sizes, are collected from each female encountered on the beach in order to identify changes in the population within the Seychelles.
- The monitoring of this critically endangered species is one of the primary focuses of the conservation team on the Island.
