Here is another photo from a poster found in the Florida Oceanographic Society in Stuart, FL. It describes the efforts that they, and others, take to educate the public about how to protect the local sea turtle nests during the season. There are laws that enforce these lighting rules along the beach, but the hatchlings sometimes get confused by a full moon shining out of the west and travel in that direction, rather than to the ocean to the east of them.
