Beach Lights Can Be Deadly for Turtles in Florida
- "Lights along the beach should be managed to prevent disorienting a female that comes ashore at night, according to biologists with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC). To do this, lights that are needed for human safety should be shielded so they are not visible from the beach or turned off when not needed." - excerpt from this UnderwaterTimes.com article.
