BEFORE YOU DIG
There is something about being on a beach
that brings out the civil engineer in most
of us. Everyone enjoys building sand
castles, creating intricate systems of
canals to move water and just to dig holes
in the sand. Most family albums have sand
castle pictures from years past.
It seems so simple especially if you dig below the tide
line. By next morning your work will be
gone. But if you dig above the tide line the
structures last for days and even weeks. But
what if you are a 300-pound or more female
turtle that wants to dig a hole to lay her
eggs? Even small holes or walls become
insurmountable barriers. Even whimsical
homage to the turtles like the effigy mount
or the mock nest seen here can thwart a real
turtle from digging a nest and laying her
eggs.
So if you want to be a civil engineer go right ahead, but
please fill in your moats and holes and
level your walls and towers before you leave
the beach. Also don’t leave chairs or other
items on the beach or in the dunes so you
won’t have to carry them back and forth
tomorrow.
