Living along Florida’s coastline has ample benefits, including stunning views and the soothing sounds of waves breaking against the shoreline. There is also a robust marine life that coastal homeowners can help protect.
In fact, the state of Florida requires the Florida Department of Environmental Protection to designate and create regulations around protecting coastal areas and their inhabitants, including sea turtles and the Turtle Code.
Because artificial lighting often confuses turtle hatchlings, who follow the moonlight, path to the ocean, Florida’s Turtle Code was created to restrict the amount of light exposure that can permeate through windows and doors.
