Abstract
Making the public aware of light-pollution problems on sea turtle nesting beaches is a fundamental step towards darkening beaches for sea turtles. Many of those responsible for errant lighting are unaware of its detrimental effects and are generally willing to correct the problem voluntarily once they become aware. Nonetheless, legislation requiring light management is often needed, and on many nesting beaches, it may be the only means to completely resolve light-pollution problems. An outline for initiating, promoting, and implementing beach-lighting legislation is presented in this manual along with a model ordinance that can be used to help produce legislative drafts. (84pp.)
