The top photo shows how the EAI (environmental group hired to monitor sea turtle nests in our county) "ropes off" the nest and identifies the nest with the date located, the type of sea turtle that they believe has laid the eggs, and initials of the person who "posted" the nest. 
The bottom photo shows how the EAI protects the nests that are ready to "hatch" from distracting lights from the road and buildings near the shore. Such lights disorient the new hatchlings and can "steer" them in the wrong direction - toward the buildings and road.
