Government employees kept the carey sea turtle eggs covered with sand in dozens of coolers while transferring them to safer spots. “Look, it's not the best thing to do, but we are facing an emergency in which if they don't take them out, they all could be lost,” said Tiburcio, who was not involved in the effort.
The Cancun municipal environment department did not immediately respond to requests for comment on where the turtle eggs were being taken for safekeeping. But in a social media post, the office said it had dug up over 10,000 eggs from around 93 nests.
