Is true that 1 in 1000 survives into adulthood?
Yay, 6 turtles!

When they hatch naturally yeah, hopefully it will be better if they deadass dump the dumb little bastards right in the water so birds can't eat them

A large fraction of that death count is birds and crabs and such eating them on the beach between the nest and the water. By dumping them effectively directly into the water, they're increasing the survival rate.
Maybe even doubling it? 12 turtles!

Probably depends on the species.
