"For the unlucky few, this is the last journey they'll ever make. Every turtle leaves the sanctuary of the ocean is taking a gamble, and it's a real knife edge whether they'll live or die, and obvious for this turtle that gamble didn't pay off, there is a number of factors that can kill them, it can be exhaustion, it could be over heating or it could be being buried which may have happened in this case by other turtles laying their eggs. If turtles trapped by the rock wall can make it to a pool, they might survive, the sea water cools their bodies, all they have to do is wait for the incoming tide and whatever that will bring. Reine island is part of the outer barrier reef, so it's right next to the open ocean."
