May 1 marks the start of sea turtle nesting season along Florida's Atlantic coast, to run through October.Volunteers and wildlife managers are hoping sea turtles that were released a year ago will return to give birth along the Volusia County shoreline. They saw a lower than average number of nests last year, so will patrol the beach and fence off active nests to protect them.
Beachfront businesses and homeowners will be required to keep lights from shining on the beach, which can cause the turtles to get distracted and crawl toward the light.
