Although the Bureau of Tourism asserts that the pathways only cross a small portion of the nine beaches on which the turtles appear, conservationistsworry that if every interested party occupies a small section to dig sand or engage in other activities, soon there may be few undisturbed beaches left. The green turtles will have a reduced choice of breeding grounds, and their rate of reproduction will inevitably be affected.
雖然觀光局表示步道只佔海龜所出現九個沙灘中的一小段，但保育人士擔心，若每個單位也都佔用一小段海灘採沙或從事其他活動，恐怕很快就沒有幾塊完整的海灘；海龜可以選擇的產卵地減少，繁殖率自然會受影響。
