The adult female will move from the ocean about 3 to 6 times per season and deposit her eggs in the sand.She picks a spot，usually near the dunes(沙丘)and digs a hole with her hind feet.Then she deposits 100 to 125 golf­ball­sized eggs in the sand.Finally she travels back to the ocean，as her job is done.If you ever are walking on the beach and see large tire tracks coming from the surf，you might be viewing Loggerhead tracks!

　　Besides helping the turtle hatchlings，the turtle patrols protect the nests with ropes and signs to warn people to leave the nests alone.There is a fine for disturbing sea turtles or their nests.The Loggerhead is protected under the US Federal Endangered Species Act.The nesting season usually ends in mid­August，but due to an increase in turtle activity，the season may last until early October.Experts don’t know why there have been more nests this year，but volunteers think it has to do with their dedication to the sea turtles.

　　When my sister­in­law talks about the turtle babies，a special light shines in her eyes.She gets a warm feeling protecting the Loggerhead babies.All the time spent is worth the happy results.

　　作者妻子的妹妹是一位保护海龟的志愿者，这些志愿者为刚出生的小海龟指引去大海的方向，并负责保护海龟栖息地。

　　1．What does the author’s sister­in­law stand in the shallow water for?
