Coronavirus 'empties' Florida beaches. Sea turtles rejoice!

At the moment, sea turtles in Florida can breed in peace. Yes, for now and for the time being!

As a result of the measures to curb the spread of the coronavirus, Florida's beaches are being closed; researchers have noticed less plastic and other waste, significantly fewer people and vehicles, as well as much less artificial light on the beaches – meaning far fewer opportunities for the tiny hatchlings to become disoriented. This is the view of David Godfrey, Executive Director of the Sea Turtle Conservancy.

As a result of all this, the sea turtles feel undisturbed.
