Lights Out for Loggerhead Turtles
Charleston Area Beaches Isle of Palms SC
The support of South Carolina coastal residents is needed more than ever to raise awareness and educate our visitors to Keep Light’s Out for Loggerheads. The loggerhead (Caretta caretta) sea turtle nesting season is May through October. Nesting occurs on the beaches of South Carolina’s barrier islands.
Loggerheads are listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act and are protected by federal and state laws. The loggerhead nesting population in the southeastern United States is continuing to decline and it has been recommended that this species be reclassified from threatened to endangered.
If a sea turtle hatchling is disoriented by artificial light, the maximum federal fine for harming a threatened species is $25,000. County and local lighting ordinances exist to protect sea turtles. To see a list of lighting ordinances in South Carolina, please visit: http://www.dnr.sc.gov/seaturtle/volres/ordinances.pdf
Violating local or county lighting ordinances carry fines up to $500.
Visit our sea turtle nest monitoring page http://www.seaturtle.org/nestdb/index.shtml?view=2) and our sea turtle stranding page http://www.seaturtle.org/strand/
