Turtle Friendly Lighting

It’s TTT – Time to talk turtles! Today I’m joined with Wendy Johnston, Jane Hardwick, and Jerrica Wood to discuss the DOE’s Turtle Friendly Lighting project! Artificial light is a massive threat to turtle hatchling survival as they make their way to the sea. With all our condos and hotels casting high levels of artificial light onto beaches at night, it’s a navigational turtle mess!  

 

Thank you again to these ladies, and the DOE, for allowing us to record in their facilities and for giving us a 101 on turtle friendly lighting!
