Sea Turtle Nesting Season

6/8/2016

0 Comments

 
As many of you already know, sea turtle nesting season is from May 1st through October 31st each year. During this time period, residents and visitors are asked to be mindful of turtle nests and to avoid any activities which may prevent a female from laying eggs. Below are some things to keep in mind to insure the turtles have a successful nesting season.

Lights affect nesting females and hatchlings
  • Beach fires are prohibited because they distract nesting turtles, attract hatchlings and kill nearby nests.
  • Flash photography can be disturbing and are harmful to see turtles.
  • Replace white porch lights with a 25 watt yellow bug light or amber/red LED bulb.
  • Eliminate, turn off, redirect or shield lights that can be seen from the beach surface.
  • Install timers and/or motion detectors and set the timer to 5 minutes or less for areas where light is needed.
  • Remove all beach gear items each day prior to nightfall.

Respect the mothers as they produce their hatchlings and fulfill their need to lay as many eggs as possible
  • While walking, be aware of turtle nests and avoid getting too close
  • Walking on moist sand will prevent surprising a female and emerging hatchlings. If you encounter an adult emerging from the sea, be still and allow her to travel up to the beach. Speak softly and slowly while in their presence.
  • Do not approach a female while she is laying her eggs. 
Watch out for hatchlings
  • While walking on the beach, look out for baby turtles on their way to see and avoid stepping on them.
  • Hatchlings do not need help walking on the beach, however they do need a clear path to the ocean.

Sign up for Weather Alerts and Download Your Citizen's Disaster Preparedness Guide Today

6/6/2016

With Tropical Storm Colin on the horizon, we wanted to take this opportunity to remind you to sign up for weather alerts through the County's Emergency Alert System.  This system is designed to notify you of dangerous weather conditions and it's free! Visit Emergency Management's website and click-on "Citizen Alerts" to register. You will asked to choose a user name and password and to indicate how you would like to be alerted (i.e. phone call, text, e-mail), as well as the type of alerts you wish to receive (flood, wind, marine, fire conditions, etc.) Once you have registered, you can edit your profile to specify a "quiet time" if you wish to silence alerts while you sleep. Please note that notifications about life-threatening conditions which require immediate action, such as an active tornado, will still be received.

As a precaution, residents should have emergency kits ready to take with them during an evacuation, or to sustain them after a disaster until public services resume. Have at least an extra week’s worth of necessary medications available at all times – talk with your doctor or pharmacist about your “emergency kit medications”. Insure that you have at least one gallon of drinking water per person per day and several days supply of non-perishable foods. A large duffle bag or plastic tub with a lid makes a great storage place for an emergency food supply.  Make digital (scan to CD or thumb-drive) or paper copies of important photos and documents/records (e.g. account numbers, insurance policies, registrations, insurance numbers, contact numbers and medication lists) and put them in a water-tight plastic bag (like a large Ziploc® Freezer Bag).  Have a bottle of plain bleach to disinfect surfaces and water.

Last but not least, download the attached
Citizen's Disaster Preparedness Guide for a myriad of important information such as emergency phone numbers, shelter registration for those with special needs, and a check-list for preparing your emergency evacuation kit.

If you have questions, please do not hesitate to contact Nassau County Emergency Management at (904)548-0900.
