Since Sea Turtles are Endangered, Why Can’t We Just Help Ensure the Majority of Hatchlings make it into Water Instead of 1 in 1,000?

We do! While we can’t just pick them up and yeet them into the ocean, preservation societies mark off nests, set patrols, make sure they are at the right depth and temperatures, and try to be there for the actual hatch to scare off predators.
As for why we can’t just yeet them, the dash they make for the ocean both helps them get a hang of moving their limbs so they don’t drown, and makes sure they understand how to get back to those nesting grounds to lay their own eggs.
