Description:
Making the public aware of light-pollution problemson sea turtle nesting beaches is a fundamentalstep towards darkening beaches for sea turtles. Manyof those responsible for errant lighting are unawareof its detrimental effects and are generally willing tocorrect the problem voluntarily once they become aware. Nonetheless, legislation requiring light managementis often needed, and on many nestingbeaches, it may be the only means to completelyresolve light-pollution problems. An outline for initiating,promoting, and implementing beach-lightinglegislation is presented in this manual along with amodel ordinance that can be used to help producelegislative drafts. (84pp.)
