Turn Off a Light and Save a Turtle

Town Environmental Science Coordinator Keith Laakkonen is worried. Turtle season on our island officially began May 1st, so the first nests should be hatching any time now since the gestation period is normally between 55 and 65 days. The problem is - and what's got Laakkonen and his staff working after hours (note, Town employees are paid a salary so they do not receive overtime) - is that some beachfront property owners are still not either shielding their lights or switching to turtle-friendly lighting, and he fears this will result in the death of many baby turtles.  "The easiest way to kill a hatchling is to leave the lights on if you have a house on the beach,” he said. "And since sea turtles are endangered, the Town has had an ordinance in effect for nearly 20 years but people still do it.”  To read more: http://www.islandsandpaper.com/save-a-turtle.aspx
