Jenny, thank you for registering and also thanks for coming out with me last week. AMAZING numbers, no? We ARE making a difference!
Looking forward to doing it again. Even Hermit Crab wants to go!

Wow i had no idea it was such a problem! Poor turtles I always noticed the "street lights will be turned off during turtle season" signs along the beach but didn't realize how great of an effect other lights have them. I'm local too I will definitely look into how I could offer my assistance.
