Sea Turtle Mitigation Programs
Lighting and Predation - Initially these programs were created in response to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. Funds have been used for sea turtle mitigation in three areas: lighting, rehabilitation, and predation. Currently funding continues for mitigation in lighting and predation. Lighting grants replace problem fixtures on coastal properties with shielded amber LED lights that reduce disorientation for nesting turtles and hatchlings. Predation funds concentrate on reducing the incidence of predation of turtle eggs and hatchlings.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJan 1, 2022 – Dec 31, 2022Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$1.2MFlorida Sea Turtle Conservation Programs
