HAZARDOUS WASTE
COLLECTION MAY 4
The City of Jacksonville will hold a
household hazardous waste and e-waste
collection from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday,
May 4, at the Jacksonville Beach Public
Works parking lot (1460 Shetter Ave). For
information, call Jacksonville’s Solid Waste
Division at (904) 387-8847.
A list of items that will be accepted at this
event is published at www.coj.net.
Help nesting sea turtles by keeping
beaches dark at night & obstacle-free
Keeping beaches dark at night and free of obstacles will help sea
turtles during their nesting season, which begins May 1 in Northeast
Florida and continues through Oct. 31. Dark means no artificial lighting
visible from the beach, including flashlights and flash photography,
between 8 p.m. and 6 a.m.
The Beaches Sea Turtle Patrol (BSTP), nature centers and local
governments contribute greatly to sea turtle conservation. In 2018,
3,522 loggerhead, green and leatherback sea turtle nests were
recorded in Duval, Nassau, St. Johns, Flagler and Volusia counties.
The all-volunteer nonprofit BSTP is the only Florida Fish and
Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC)-permitted turtle patrol in
Atlantic, Neptune and Jacksonville Beach. But caring beachgoers and
oceanfront residents can also make a significant difference in helping
nesting and hatchling sea turtles survive.
On May 1, 2018, the City of Atlantic Beach began regulating
artificial lighting emitted from oceanfront houses and businesses
(for information, email info@coab.us or call 247-5804). Turning
out lights or closing curtains and shades in buildings along the beach
after dark helps ensure that nesting turtles are not disturbed. Also,
bright artificial lighting can misdirect and disturb nesting sea turtles
and their hatchlings, so beachgoers should avoid using flashlights or
cellphones at night. Clearing away boats, beach furniture and trash at
the end of the day, leveling sandcastles, and filling in holes in the sand
are also important because turtles can become trapped in furniture
and get trapped in holes on the beach.
Another key to protecting sea turtles is not touching hatchlings,
which typically dig out of nests and scramble to the ocean from July
through October. Other ways to help sea turtles include properly
disposing of fishing line to avoid entanglements, and reporting sick,
injured, entangled or dead sea turtles to the FWC’s Wildlife Alert
Hotline at (888) 404-3922, or #FWC or *FWC on a cell phone (select
option 7). For turtles found in Atlantic Beach, call BSTP directly at
(904) 613-6081.
