Is FPL involved in any activities during sea turtle nesting season?
Sea turtle nesting surveys have been conducted since 1971 on beaches near the plant. This is one of the longest nesting surveys in the world. The data has been invaluable in showing long-term nesting trends on one of Florida’s highest-density nesting beaches. Plant biologists also lead “turtle walks” to enable members of the public to observe nesting sea turtles. These walks have been held since 1989 to increase public awareness of sea turtle conservation issues. More than 1,000 people attend these events annually.
