The study deals with the subject of sand dredging and the impact of this on the nesting densities of large sea turtles.

The sand is transported to cities and urban communities as a basic building material.

The demand for them is high and intense after the events of February 17.

Protection of natural resources or those responsible for halting the illegal and accelerated construction activities, the study targeted Banas Beach, located near Al-Heniya area in eastern Libya.

The reason for this selection is the existence of a database of five years proceding the 2012 study season.

This data was provided by the members of the team of the Libyan Program for Turtle Protection Eastern Region, which also contributed to the provision of data for the season 2012, as the survey and monitoring of the nests are things that need experienced specialists in this area, and by the end of the season all data were collected and analyzed compared to the study season.

The study concluded that the shelf has caused a decrease in the intensity of the effects of the turtles as well as the nests, which reached only four and did not complete the incubation period.
