text: Standard flashlights that emit white or short wavelength light disorient both adult sea turtles and young hatchlings: the environmentally intrusive lights may cause nesting females to abandon a nest site before laying her eggs, while hatchlings, using the night sky (stars and moon) to locate the ocean, instinctively head towards the beckoning flashlights of the curious onlookers, severely diminishing the young turtle's chances of ever getting safely off the beach and into the ocean.
