A "false crawl" is when a turtle visits the beach but doesn't make a nest. There are a variety of naturally-occurring reasons that a turtle will leave - maybe the sand conditions aren't right, or there are predators present. These are compounded by people-caused conditions such as HAZARDS and OBSTRUCTIONS, noise, light and activity.
