depend on well-trained and reliable staff. At an<br />

established area for hatchery, authorities should<br />

place permanent or temporary staff to control the<br />

beach as well as to collect and transport the eggs<br />

to the hatchery as soon as possible. A training<br />

course should be conducted for staff to<br />

show them the correct procedures for<br />
