Eat sea turtle- friendly seafood Choose seafood caught or farmed in ways that keep our oceans healthy and do not harm sea turtles. Check out www.seafoodwatch.org for sustainable seafood choices. Use sea turtle-friendly beachfront lighting Hatchling sea turtles find the sea from their nest using the natural light from the night sky. Artificial lighting can lead them astray. If you are staying by the beach, close your blinds at night and use amber or red turtle- friendly lights. Pick up trash and recycle Sea turtles often get sick when they mistake plastics for their food. Picking up trash, wherever you are, can help save sea turtles. The Disney Conservation Fund has contributed more than $2.4 million to sea turtle conservation, including more than $1.2 million in Florida alone. Your support can go a long way toward saving sea turtles.
