Nev commenced monitoring back in the early 1970's and Bev joined him in 1977. They have not missed a nesting season since then. Each season they spend December and January camped in the Deepwater National Park. They spend their nights patrolling the beach on quad bikes and ATVs, and the next morning place mesh on the newly laid clutches to protect them from fox and goanna predation. TurtleCare Volunteers Queensland Inc is an incorportated association established for the purpose of fostering conservation through study and enjoyment of turtles. Through this organization they have the ability to raise funds to further the study that operates in conjunction with the Turtle Research Program, centered around the Mon Repos Rookery, which is a part of the Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service. The volunteers at Wreck Rock spend all night patrolling the 22km beach, tagging adult turtles, monitoring their nesting and the hatching of newborn turtles and trying to keep the foxes and goannas (monitor lizards) from destroying the nests during their 8 week incubation period. Tom Garrett and Rusty, his fox sniffing dog, volunteer a month at Deepwater National Park each season targeting fox dens. A special feature of this beach is that 4 species of turtles have been recorded nesting here. Loggerheads, greens, and flatbacks frequently nest in this area, and until the mid 1990's it was the last known nesting site in Queensland for the rare and huge leatherback turtle.

摘要：
志愿者内维尔·麦克拉克伦（Neville McLachlan）与贝夫林·麦克拉克伦（Bevlyn McLachlan）发起并运营沉船岩海龟护理项目已有45年，期间始终得到家人与朋友的协助。内维尔早在20世纪70年代初便开始开展海龟监测工作，贝夫林于1977年加入团队，自此之后二人从未错过任何一个海龟筑巢季。每个筑巢季，他们都会在12月至1月期间于深水国家公园宿营。夜间，他们驾驶四轮摩托与全地形车（ATV）在海滩巡逻；次日清晨，则会在新产下的龟卵巢穴上铺设防护网，以抵御狐狸与巨蜥（goanna）的捕食。

昆士兰海龟护理志愿者协会是一家注册社团，其成立宗旨为通过对海龟的研究与科普观赏推广海龟保育工作。依托该组织，志愿者们能够筹措资金，推进与以蒙雷波斯筑巢地为核心的海龟研究项目的合作研究——该筑巢地隶属于昆士兰公园与野生动物服务局。

沉船岩的志愿者们会整夜巡逻长达22公里的海滩，为成年海龟佩戴跟踪标记、监测其筑巢行为与幼龟孵化情况，并在8周的孵化周期内全力阻止狐狸与巨蜥（monitor lizards）破坏龟巢。

每个筑巢季，汤姆·加勒特与他的探狐犬拉斯特（Rusty）都会志愿前往深水国家公园工作一个月，重点排查狐狸巢穴。

该海滩的一大特色是，目前已记录有4种海龟在此筑巢：红海龟、绿海龟与扁背海龟在此区域频繁筑巢；而在20世纪90年代中期以前，这里是昆士兰州已知仅存的珍稀大型棱皮龟筑巢地。
