 LIGHTS OUT FOR SEA TURTLE NESTING SEASON
Sea turtle nesting season runs from May 1 to October 31st. Tybee and Little Tybee Island average about 8 nests each season. During this time, female sea turtles come ashore to lay their eggs. You might see the dawn patrol volunteers on the beach each morning as well as nest monitoring at night later in the season. Please be reminded of the following guidelines if you are lucky enough to witness a female nesting or hatchlings emerging: sea turtles are protected by the Endangered Species Act; do not touch or disturb nesting sea turtles, hatchlings or their nest; avoid using flashlights or flash photography on the beach at night; and be sure to turn off outside lights as well as shield indoor lights from shining directly onto the beach at night. You may contact the Tybee Island Marine Science Center for more information at (912) 786-5917. |

 HOMEOWNER MOSQUITO CONTROL
Mosquitoes carrying the West Nile Virus have been detected on Tybee Island!
While mosquito control efforts by public agencies continue, it is important that home owners, renters, and individuals on the island also do their part to try to reduce the mosquito population. The most important is to tour your property to look for any standing water - animal watering dishes, empty pots or glasses, bits of plastic, and drainage ditches that can hold water for up to a week. The mosquito larvae live in still water for 7-10 days before transforming into adult mosquitoes, and the quickest way to eliminate at least some of the threat is simply to make sure such standing water, even tiny amounts, is drained to eliminate this mosquito breeding ground.
For larger areas that can't be drained, you can purchase commercial products called 'mosquito dunks' which can be placed in the water to kill the larvae before they hatch. Contact Chatham County Mosquito Control to report areas needing special attention; you can call them at 790-2540.
Since you can't control the entire environment, be sure to use insect repellent if you will be spending a lot of time outdoors.
