Delray Beach: City moves toward county beach-light law - The Coastal Star

I wonder if Lake Worth is opting in or creating its own ordinance. Interesting to note that this also affects the placement of beach furniture and having to remove it at night. In the morning, it needs to be replaced in the company of a turtle nest inspector to determine if any nests were made the previous night. Click title for link. From the article:

“We will work with them the best we can for a solution,” Biery said. “But lights can’t be visible from the beach either directly or indirectly by causing illumination.”
    Some violators may be given the opportunity to retrofit existing lighting fixtures by adding sheet metal shields so stray light doesn’t reach to the beach. Amber LED lightbulbs also may be substituted at some locations to reduce glare.
    The law also requires that all beach furniture be removed each night to make movement easier for sea turtles. A turtle surveyor must give approval each morning before the furniture can be returned to the municipal beach.
    Coastal municipalities have the option to either let the county enforce its turtle protection law on their beaches or to adopt a municipal law that is equally strict.
    Manalapan opted into the county law and Ocean Ridge is working to do the same. Boca Raton chose to adopt and enforce its own law.
