๐Ÿข **Happy Turtle Season in Key Colony Beach!** ๐Ÿข

Weโ€™re excited to share some wonderful newsโ€”there are two sea turtle nests on our beach! ๐ŸŽ‰

As nesting season is underway, this is a great reminder that we all play an important role in protecting these incredible marine visitors and their future hatchlings.

๐ŸŒ™ Keep beaches dark at night by turning off or shielding beachfront lights.

๐Ÿ–๏ธ Leave beaches clean and flat by filling in holes and knocking down sandcastles before you leave.

๐Ÿช‘ Remove chairs, tents, and beach equipment from the beach each evening.

๐Ÿšฏ Dispose of trash properly and help keep our shoreline clean.

While we celebrate this exciting milestone, we are not sharing the nest location to help protect the turtles and their habitat.

Thank you to our partners and volunteers who work tirelessly to protect sea turtles throughout the Florida Keys. Together, we can help ensure a successful nesting season for these amazing creatures.
