The streets along the beaches of some Florida coastal towns are smeared with the remains of baby turtles that have been at night, they instinctively head for the most brightly lit area, which until recently was the reflective water of the sea. However, nowadays it is floodlit condominiums.
Where these sources of light abound, the trails of hatchlings in the sand are either confused circles or direct and deadly paths from beach to buildings. Beachfront light is responsible for the deaths of thousands of the Sea Turtle Rescue Fund at the Center for Environmental Education in Washington,D.C.
The loggerhead, a threatened sea turtle species, cannot afford such confusion. It has enough to stuggle wich: the heavy beach-cleaning machines that crush the egg; the order of being “cemented” in to nests when heavy, wet sand is pumped onto the beach, and the danger of getting caught in the nets of shrimpers.
But the misguiding lights are one of the biggest threats. “No all beaches have construction and not all beachs are cleaned, but all beachs have urged the passage of turtle protection ordinances---laws that forbid floodlights on beachs and the bright illumination of condominiums with highly reflective windows.
