Beach Lighting Rules Panned

You would think that the requirement to use less wattage would be favored by the beachfront property owners. The lower wattage would decrease the cost in electricity as well as help the sea turtles make their journey to the sea properly.

I understand that the cost of these new lights are coming out of the property owners pockets, but I have a hard time picturing them hurting financially. I’m sure it is possible, however, there are prices to being a beach property owner. If they can’t help out the struggling wildlife around them, the places that the animals’ ancestors had inhabited first, then they should have considered another location to live.
