Turtle Patrol Update
Current Nest Count: 344
- Never harass, touch or disturb hatchlings or eggs.
- Take all items with you when you leave the beach and fill in your holes, as these can be big hurdles for turtles.
- Lights out for Turtles! May - October, all outdoor lighting facing the beachfront should be turned off from 9 p.m. to dawn. Also, no use of artificial light (flashlights, cell phone lights) on the beach at night. It can cause nesting females to abandon nesting attempts and disorient hatchlings as they make their way to the ocean
