Sea Turtle Hatchlings Rescued by FWC Officers in Ft. Lauderdale
A team of FWC law enforcement officers joined volunteers from Sea Turtle Oversight Protection on September 1st to document and rescue 4 different disoriented sea turtle nests on South Fort Lauderdale beach.
What they found was shocking and disturbing.
THIS IS ILLEGAL!
There are Federal, State and Local laws to prevent this nightly tragedy. YOU can help STOP it NOW by emailing your complaints to Ft. Lauderdale Code Enforcement. code@fortlauderdale.gov
In a letter written to me Aug 19th 2010, the Fort Lauderdale code enforcement manager stated, "Our approach has been more educational than heavy-handed in terms of enforcement."
Mike Maloney
Code Enforcement Manager
DO NOT ACCEPT THIS! Your tax dollars are being used to selectively enforce the law while endangered species are senselessly dying every night!! Who is making that decision? Leave the education to the schools and the enforcement to the officials we pay to ENFORCE!
These are YOUR TAX DOLLARS. THIS IS YOUR DECISION!!!
Forward to friends, ask you children's class to write letters to officials as a school project. Please, do what you can to expose this dark secret.

Proclamation by the Mayor of Ft. Lauderdale.

NOTE: These rescues were performed by trained sea turtle rescue workers with permitting from Florida Wildlife Commission and using approved lighting.
It is UNLAWFUL to disturb, handle or illuminate hatchlings. Use of artificial light is prohibited on nesting beaches.

Not only do the volunteers at Sea Turtle Oversight Protection (STOP) do an excellent job documenting their work through these extraordinary videos, they also make a drastic difference in the lives of thousands of sea turtles that otherwise would be found disoriented or dead. Hooray for the folks who do this meaningful work!
