I'm from Costa Rica. The way Ostional works is that they monitor the number of turtles. In Ostional there are so many eggs and turtles that everytime a new turtle comes to lay out it digs and destroys the previous turtles nest, killing the eggs and producing contamination. So they actually let the people pick the first turtles nests eggs that would anyway get destruyed. The community in change clean the beaches and protects the baby turtles.
