You have the "power" to save the turtles
After they hatch, the first instinct of turtles is to follow the light of the moon to the ocean where thay can eat, sleep, and grow in peace. However, all over the world it seems to be that turtles are attracted to city lights. Instead of following the light of the moon, turtles follow the city lights. When turtles follow the city lights, they end up dying because they get run over by cars or buses.
WHat you can do!
lf you are wondering what you can do to help turtles, this is what you can do. You can shut off your lights at night so turtles don't get attracted to the city lights. You can also get yellow lights instead of white lights.
who will benefit?
Both people and turtles will benefit from this. People will not feel the hardship of killing turtles, therefore, turtles will grow on and reproduce naturally so that the sea turtle population will grow.
Tips for people that live near the beach
If you live near the ocean, you need to be aware when it is turtle season. Turtle season is May- October. During this time you should turn your lights off earlier, so that turtles don't get attracted to the lights. You could also try to get yellow lights, instead of white lights, for your house or car.
