05.01.2022 Marine turtle season is underway and there is one key action every Curtis and Capricorn Coast resident can take to support both nesting turtle and emerging hatchling this season from October to March turn off your lights! As turtle hatchlings emerge from their nests, they seek the lowest, brightest light source to act as their guiding light to the ocean. Having navigated the oceans for millions of years, moonlight is nature’s way of guiding the newborns to their marine habi...tat. A three-year study by Griffith University of light pollution on Curtis Island from 2012 2015 indicated that 20% of turtle hatchlings were disorientated as they made their way to the ocean. Of course, being more mindful of the light you are generating from your home also brings with it benefits in reducing your electricity bill, practising good sleep hygiene, brighter night skies and many more. If turning off your light completely is not an option, you can consider redirecting light sources away from the ocean, drawing blinds or curtains, building vegetation to act as a screen, or transitioning standard outdoor lights to lights that are timed or activated by sensor detection. Urban glow generated by townships can be reflected into the night sky, with a greater glow occurring on overcast evenings. Every light makes a difference in reducing light pollution. Remember, marine turtles dig the dark!
