Why sea turtle lighting compliant-shades Matter

Marco Island is a critical nesting area for loggerhead sea turtles. During nesting season (May 1 to October 31), beachfront properties are required to minimize artificial lighting that can disorient hatchlings.

Without proper blackout shades, even indoor light can violate local ordinances and endanger hatchlings.

Engineered for oversized sliders, wraparound glass, and luxury waterfront properties, our turtle-friendly blackout shades block interior light from escaping at night—helping protect nesting and hatching sea turtles without sacrificing your view. Because protecting paradise should look this good.
