🐢 Did you know?
When sea turtle hatchlings break out of their nests, they instinctively look for the brightest light on the horizon to guide them to the ocean. For millions of years, that light was the moon. 🌕
Today, it is often a porch light, a resort floodlight, or a street lamp.
Instead of heading to the sea, confused hatchlings crawl toward roads, buildings, and danger. Many exhaust themselves and never reach the water at all. 💔
The heartbreaking part? This happens every single nesting season, and most people do not even realize their lights are the cause.
The simple fix is turtle-friendly lighting. Warm amber LEDs that let you light your space without putting hatchlings at risk. 🌊✨
