Task force backs stakeholder outreach as staff weighs CWA vegetation options

A hatchling under a beach chair needs space, not a chase. Clear clutter, dim lights, keep people back, and call local responders if it’s still stuck. #SeaTurtleCare #HatchlingSafety #BeachStewardship #WildlifeRescue #CoastalConservation #TurtleProtection #LeaveNoTrace #OceanAction

Before your next evening on the coast, check the lights around you. Porch glow and curtained windows can steer hatchlings off course. Turn off extras, block indoor spill, and share the why. #SeaTurtleConservation #BeachStewardship #DarkSkyFriendly #HatchlingSafety #CoastalConservation #ResponsibleT…

The safest night beach move is often the quietest one. Keep lights low, stay back from marked areas, and give hatchlings space to reach the surf. Save this.
