New Lighting Guidelines for Jekyll Island Beaches to Protect Endangered Sea Turtles
Jekyll Island Authority Publishes Updated Lighting Ordinance; Sets New Standard for Beach Protection from Artificial Light
JEKYLL ISLAND, GA. – The Jekyll Island State Park Authority (JIA) has announced it’s intentions to set greater restrictions on lights near its natural beaches in order to protect sea turtles from the adverse effects of artificial light. The move, once approved as a new ordinance for the state-owned island, will likely be the model for beach lighting ordinances for all of Georgia’s coast communities.
Artificial lighting is the light that emanates from any man-made device, such as street-lights, tree lights, beach-walk lanterns, and neon signs. This new ordinance, which strictly defines what will and will not be allowed on and near the beach, will be regulated and enforced by the JIA.
“Jekyll Island is well-known for its conservation efforts, especially through the work of the Georgia Sea Turtle Center,” said Ben Porter, chairman of the Jekyll Island State Park Authority. “This is another big step towards making Jekyll Island one of the most environmentally-friendly communities on the East Coast.”
