As Sea Turtle Season continues keep in mind lighting is a huge factor in disorienting turtles! Anyone in the Turtle Conservation zone must adhere to wildlife friendly lighting.
How can you help?
- Close your drapes or blinds and turn off all unnecessary outdoor lights.
- Switch other lights to sea turtle-friendly lights if your property can be seen from the beach.
- If walking the beach at night, please avoid using flashlights and cell phone lights. If a flashlight is necessary, please be cautious of your surrounding areas and possible nesting mothers and hatchlings making their way into the ocean.
