Section 932.09. Sea turtle protection. (1)Purpose. The purpose of this section is to protect threatened and endangered sea turtles which nest along the beaches of Indian River County, Florida, by safeguarding adult and hatchling sea turtles from the impacts of light. The regulations of this section also serve as a light management mechanism in furtherance of Indian River County's Sea Turtle Habitat Conservation Plan. (4)Existing development. To meet the intent of this section, lighting of existing structures which can be seen from the beach shall be in compliance with the following: (a) Lights illuminating buildings or associated grounds for decorative or recreational purposes shall be shielded or screened such that they do not directly or indirectly illuminate the beach, or turned off after 9:00 p.m. during the period from March 1 to October 31 of each year. (b)Lights illuminating dune crosswalks or any areas oceanward of the landward side of the dune line shall be turned off after 9:00 p.m. during the period from March 1 to October 31 of each year and shall not directly or indirectly illuminate the beach. (c) Security lighting shall be permitted throughout the night so long as low -profile luminaries are used and screened in such a way that those lights do not directly or indirectly illuminate the beach. Motion detector switches may be used. (d) Window treatments in windows within line -of -sight of an observer standing anywhere on the beach on single and multistory structures are required so that interior lights do not illuminate the beach. The use of non -reflective tint or film on windows or awnings is preferred; however, the use of black -out draperies or shade screens will suffice. (e)All exterior light fixtures on the seaward or shore -perpendicular sides of buildings, or on the landward side of buildings if the fixtures are visible from the beach, shall be lamped with a long wavelength light source, such as amber or red light emitting diodes (LED), low pressure sodium, or true red neon. It has been recommended by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission that no such light source emit light below five hundred sixty (560) nanometers (nm).
