I'm preparing a letter to my renters to be e-mailed prior to their arrival. It will include a link to the South Walton Turtle Watch for information, and discuss why filling in the holes and removal of beach items is imperative to the turtles survival and nesting habits.
I want to include that flashlights are not allowed on the beach at night, and suggest where to purchase these turtle friendly lights I have heard about.
Does anyone know where they can be bought?
I will pm the letter or post it for anyone who wants to use my copy.
It will also include a copy of the Beach Safety Brochure provided by the TDC.

Save trees! Laminate it and leave it on the fridge or in the guest book.
Not sure about the lights, but I would also suggest that if the moon is half or better you don't need a flash light, just wait two minutes and your eyes will adjust.

Check with Jen at Raw & Juicy about the turtle friendly light filters. Not sure where else.

Here's the proper link - http://www.seaturtlewatch.com
I believe one of our members has red flashlight covers that are turtle friendly. You can email Sharon at http://www.seaturtlewatch.com/contact.html and she will tell you where to get them.

I plan on doing that too, but, I figured e-mailing will also enhance the point.
I thought I read about the lights from you. Moon glow on the water is the best. No biggie, it's not going to hold up my info sheet/ letter if I don't find out shortly.
Edit: Thanks for the info y'all posted that I missed.

Nest #17 as of this morning over near Stallworth.
My wife and I joined the folks walking the beaches. This morning was our first day and the guy walking the next section to the West of us found the nest. Dawn called us over to see the tracks firsthand and what the nest looks like.
We hadda dig for awhile to find the eggs, but my wife found them.
Way cool experience and we had a small crowd of kids that we were able to educate a little on turtles.

Good job! They are your babies now. A couple of months from now we will know where to find you in the evenings, sitting with that nest.
