It's hard to tell from the sheer number of turtles invading in this Mexican Beach.
很难说在墨西哥海滩等着产卵的海龟数量到底有多少。
But these Olive Ridley Turtles meet a bumper crop of babies.
但可以肯定的是，这些榄蠵龟将迎来一大波海龟宝宝。
We classify them as a recovering species.
我们将它们归类为“恢复”物种。
By nesting in mass, the turtles fled their predators and since their predators can't cope with attacking a nest.
海龟通过集体筑巢的方式躲避捕食者，它们是没法攻击海龟巢穴的。
We're talking about animals like dogs, gulls, foxes and some birds that end up in the attacking of nests.
像狗、海鸥、狐狸和鸟类等动物会攻击巢穴。
Peralta is in charge of 15 kilometers of protected sand on the Pacific Ocean that welcomes these turtles.
佩拉尔塔负责太平洋海域长达15公里的海岸线，该地区已被列为海龟保护区，静候这些海龟的到来。
And this is only one of an estimated seven or eight groups of Olive Ridleys that will lay their eggs here, this nesting season.
这只是第一批来到这里产卵的榄蠵龟，据估计将有七八批海龟上岸，现在正是海龟的产卵季节。
We believe between some 150,000 could come to deposit their eggs in August.
我们认为，8月份差不多有15万只海龟来到这里产卵。
It could probably reach 200,000 and that would be pretty good.
有可能数量会达到20万只，那就更好了。
Each wave of turtles will lay about 15 million eggs total.
每批上岸的海龟产卵总数可达约1500万枚。
That's an necessity because natural and man-made threats mean only about 1 in 1000 turtles will survive to adulthood.
虽然看上去很多，但却十分必要，因为自然和人为因素影响，只有约千分之一的小海龟能成长为成龟。
