Eliminating Light Pollution on Sea Turtle Nesting Beaches

Presentation by: Rachel Tighe and Casie Hain of the Sea Turtle Conservancy

Mismanaged artificial lights from our residences, roadways, businesses, and more can negatively impact sea turtles by disrupting their natural orientation cues, leading to confusion and even death. This talk will explore how lights affect sea turtles, protective measures put in place for sea turtles, and how coastal residents or visitors, such as yourself, can help. Come learn the best practices to manage artificial light and improve nesting habitat to help ensure these important species are around for generations to come!
