This town near the ocean has red street lights so turtles hatching from eggs on the beach don’t confuse the street lights for the moon and are able to head straight for the ocean.

There are a few areas where streets run very close to nesting beaches, and the government has started to take measures to help sea turtles at those locations. Installing red street lights reduces impacts on hatchlings, while using LEDs helps to make sure drivers remain safe.
