During turtle nesting season, we suggest that you:
- Change the lights facing the beach areas to amber or red-colored bulbs or modify their direction so they light the inside of the property. Lights disorient the turtles.
- Do not let domestic animals run free at night.
- Do not snorkel or scuba dive during the night in places near the coast.
- If, for some reason, you have to walk on the beach at night, use amber or red light on your flashlight, illuminating your path only.
- Do not leave objects (beach chairs, floats, kayaks, etc.) on the beach as they may obstruct the path of turtles climbing up to lay their eggs.
- Do not make excessive noise at night from 11 p.m. to 5 a.m. during nesting season (May through October). Noise frightens the turtles.
- If you see a turtle arriving, making a nest or laying their eggs, do not approach her, shine a light on her, or take pictures with a flash. Please notify CEA staff of your observations.
- When you visit the beaches, please pick up the garbage even if it is not yours. Help us to keep the beaches clean.
