Most do actually make it into the water. The majority just don’t make it past that, as they get eaten by any number of animals. Getting rid of the predators isn’t an option because that disrupts the food web, so all we can do is keep nesting sites as protected as we can so at least the majority of the hatchlings are safe on land.
