Turtles Stuck in Storm Drain | Miami News

Sea turtles in Indian Rocks Beach, Florida, got trapped in a storm drain after being misled by beachfront lighting—prompting a rescue effort by nesting teams and deputies. With nesting season underway, officials are cracking down on harmful lights, issuing violations to 82 properties and giving residents 30 days to upgrade to turtle-safe lighting. Duke Energy is helping test and retrofit lights, while the Clearwater Marine Aquarium confirmed all rescued turtles were safely returned to the Gulf—a small but vital victory for wildlife conservation.
