| Turtle Talk Tuesday |
| It’s turtle nesting season! From May 1st – October 31st each year, sea turtles visit Amelia Island beaches to nest, and it’s up to all of us to make their visit as safe as possible! During this turtle nesting season, we are introducing “Turtle Talk Tuesday”. Every Tuesday, we will provide you with facts about our local turtle population and what is being done to protect them. LEAVE NOTHING BUT FOOTPRINTSFor this week’s Turtle Talk Tuesday message, we discussed the importance of keeping our beaches clean, particularly for nesting sea turtles. Nassau County’s Leave No Trace Ordinance prohibits personal property from being left unattended on Atlantic beaches within the unincorporated area (Peters Point south to the State Park). Items left unattended after 8pm will be removed and destroyed. Learn more |
