What should I do if I find a hole on the beach?
The city says it has been seeing more holes left on the beaches. TREASURE ISLAND, Fla.  Don't leave holes on the beach. That's the message Treasure Island leaders have for beachgoers. The city tweeted Thursday, saying it has been seeing more holes left on the beaches. That can be dangerous for people and sea turtles, the city said. It also asked people to collapse any sandcastles they build before leaving, too. Besides its message to those enjoying its beaches, the city also has other efforts it is trying as a way to protect sea turtle babies. In April, it installed eight sea turtle-friendly lights along Gulf Boulevard to help reduce a serious problem for the species in the area. Sea turtle hatchlings use moonlight to guide them back to the water but often get disoriented by artificial lights and end up crawling into roads or neighborhoods. These new lights are designed to limit that artificial glare and avoid the thousands of preventable sea turtle deaths that occur between May and October each year.  Attention Beachgoers! #MyTreasureIsland wants you to enjoy the beach but ask that you PLEASE fill in any holes and collapse any sandcastles before you leave. There has been an increase in holes being left on the beach which poses a danger to sea turtles and humans. pic.twitter.com/361qIdLE2O  Treasure Island, FL (@TresIslandFL) June 10, 2021
