Courtesy of the Fort Morgan Civic Association:

Alabama's sea turtle nesting season is in full swing. Please help our visitors know that sea turtles like our beaches clean, dark, and flat:

CLEAN: Remove all trash and beach items (chairs, tents, towels, etc.) from the beach every day when you depart.

DARK: Turn off outside lights, avoid white flashlights, and consider changing to sea turtle-friendly lighting if you have beachfront property.

FLAT: Enjoy digging holes and building sand castles during your stay, but knock down and fill in all areas before you leave so our sea turtles can enjoy the beach as well. It also keeps it safer for people enjoying a nighttime stroll or emergency responders driving down the beach!

As always, if you see a sea turtle, stay back at least 30 feet, stay low, stay quiet, and call the hotline at (866) SEA-TURTLE (866-732-8878).
