Hmm I think I may have stumbled across something?

Thanks for the link Punzy,

We are regular visitors to Vero Beach, Fl. as we have our vacation club there with Disney. They are very strict in that area about protection of the turtles.

The resorts on the beach even go as far as putting informational material in the rooms.

One of the problems it seems with Walton county is lack of an ordiance.

Here is a very good article on protection of the turtles especially Section C

Human Presence on the Coast

Seems to be only one of many problems:

Lack of an ordinance

Lack of enforcement of existing ordinance

Lack of education/information *** This one we can all directly work on fixing. Educate a tourist or their kids every day you are on the beach, and help keep the beaches clean. BTW, Educate a local too if possible.

If we can scrounge up 100 signatures, I'll hand deliver a letter with all the names, a link, and Kurt's generous offer to all three Publix, and all the local stores that are selling large shovels.

I can use help...please tell me where you've seen these shovels for sale. I've mentioned Publix, and I know Movies by the Sea has a sign out front advertising Big Beach Shovels. Since I don't have kids, I'm not frequenting the toy stores!

Come on everybody. I am personally responsible for 21 that I know of (1 bad and not counting GRS ) so lets get the number to 100 and let Punzy go to work. It really is that bad.

Grayton General - owned by same person who also owns the Tom Thumb's (I'm not sure if they have them) in the area and I suppose the new Seagrove general Store near Yianni's. The large beach stores in Miramar beach - at leat the one on the north side of 98 I was in the other day. Probably a few places on Scenic Hwy 98 in Miramar.
