You can also help protect sea turtles by keeping the beach clean, dark and flat. Remove all items from the beach before sunset, fill in any holes, and minimize lighting on the beach. Beach front property owners should ensure that outside lighting is shielded or turned off and those walking on the beach at night should use turtle safe flashlights.
Beginning next week, we are bringing back "Turtle Talk Tuesday" to raise awareness of sea turtle nesting by sharing facts about the local sea turtle population and what is being done to protect them.
