🕳️Let’s talk about holes.

👀Why are we seeing them and why are we leaving them?

🪏Holes are an ongoing everyday nuisance on our beaches. This year we are seeing smaller ones left behind from folks who like to shell hunt. The beach renourishment project has a really fun benefit and that’s the amazing shells it leaves behind.
Other reasons are to build sandcastle or to play in the sand.

🥹What happens if you leave behind a hole? Holes can be very dangerous to anyone who walks the beach at night, fishes, Turtle Patrol, Lifeguards, Police and Public works, who drive the beaches in the early morning and throughout the day, and the nesting and hatching turtles during the season.

👣The easiest solution to avoid a tragedy is to cover your holes.
😝Don’t be a hole cover yours when you leave.

Thanks!♥️🐢🛺👮‍♂️🛟🪏

🌿🐢 Ever wonder why there’s sargassum on our beaches?

While it may look messy at times, sargassum plays a HUGE role in keeping our coastal ecosystem healthy — especially for sea turtles!

🐢 Baby sea turtles use floating sargassum mats for shelter and protection from predators.🐠 It creates an entire ocean habitat for fish, crabs, shrimp, and other marine life.🌊 It helps reduce beach erosion by trapping sand during waves and storms.🌱 As it naturally breaks down, it adds nutrients that support dune plants and coastal wildlife.

Natural sargassum is an important part of a healthy beach and Gulf ecosystem. Small seaweed… BIG impact! 💙
