Remember, Good Beach Etiquette Saves Turtles
"Turtle Watch" says to always use good beach Etiquette. Nesting sea turtles depend on dark, quiet beaches to reproduce successfully. Today these turtles are endangered, in part because they must compete with tourists, businesses and coastal residents to use the beach.
Man-made, coastal development results in artificial lighting on the beach that discourages female sea turtles from nesting and can disorient hatchlings causing them to wander away from the beach where they often die of dehydration, predation, or even from being being run over on Gulf Dr.
