First, May 1st is the beginning of Sea Turtle Nesting Season for several Counties on Florida's Atlantic Coast and from now until October 31st, the lights of residents must be off at night on the beach.
This is to help avoid confusion and/or death for the babies of the four species of sea turtles who will be hatching and heading out to sea for the first time during this period.

are drowning out the normal everyday activities of marine life, both dolphins and whales.
There is a petition here for you to read and hopefully sign:
