Artificial Lights
Beach front lights such as these can quickly disrupt the nesting
process of sea turtles. Females crawling up on beaches to nest will
be distracted by the lights, find the area unsuitable, and return
to the sea in what is called a "false crawl." If they do nest in a
well-lit area, the possibility that their hatchlings will emerge
from the nest and accidentally crawl toward the light is greatly
increased.
