Marine Turtle Information
Public Service Announcement
Town of LBK
All species of sea turtles in the U.S. are endangered or
threatened. The loggerhead turtle is the most common sea
turtle that nests in Florida and accounts for 99% of the nests on Longboat Key in 2007
(143 loggerhead and 2 green turtle nests); Longboat Key in one of the first communities
in Florida to develop and enforce lighting ordinances that attempted to reduce sea turtle
hatchling disorientations.
The sea turtle nesting season covers May through August of each year. Nests of 100-200
eggs the size of ping-pong balls will incubate for an average of 55 to 65 days. Because
the incubation period extends 6 to 8 weeks after the nesting period, active enforcement of
the Town of Longboat Key’s Ordinance takes place between May though October or
until all the nests have hatches.
The female loggerhead matures in about 30 years to return to beaches near where she was
born. navigating from her sensing of the earth’s magnetic fields. These turtles migrate
great distances and overcome many natural and human-related hazards during migration.
Females emerge by night to nest on dark sandy beaches between the nigh tide line and
dune front. This is the same area used by day by residents and transient beach-goers. We
need to share the beach to allow turtles to nest. Beach chairs, umbrellas, and other
portable items that are left on a beach are obstacles that can cause a female to depart
without laying her eggs.
Turtle vision is best at underwater swimming in low light situations. When the baby
turtles emerge at night, they travel toward a brightest horizon, which on a dark beach
would lead them reliably to sea. However, any bright lights that are visible from the
beach can overwhelm this sensitive night vision. Bright artificial lights that are visible
from the beach can overwhelm this wrong way toward exterior lights or interior lights
from condos or hotels, single-family residences or street lights. In 2007, 37% of turtle
nests on Longboat Key had a disorientation event. The causes included lights from hotels
or condos, single family residences, sky glow and parking lots. These disorientations
resulted in a loss of 1327 baby turtles. With odds of 1 in 1000 for returning to nest,
simple measures to reduce light pollution would insure that one more turtle might make it
to return to nest on Longboat Key in 2037. Florida’s loggerhead population has declined
by 40% in the last decade, so everyone can help by:
Removing beach furniture or obstacles from the nesting area.
Turn off, shield or redirect lights during nesting season.
Close blinds or drapes over beach facing windows at night.
Use your natural vision while on the beach at night instead of flashlights.
If you meet a turtle on the beach at night, remain quiet and still until she leaves.
Do not disturb tracks made by a turtles. Researchers use the tracks to ID the
