This World Turtle Day, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) reminds the public that as they enjoy the beaches this Memorial Day weekend, everyone can help sea turtles have a successful nesting season by giving them space, removing beach furniture at night, keeping beaches clean and dark, and never disturbing their nests.
Florida’s sandy beaches provide important spring and summer nesting habitat for several species of federally threatened and endangered sea turtles.
