TIDE Committee approves pilot of four turtle-protection signs on Edisto Beach
Summary
The TIDE Committee voted unanimously April 1 to pilot four turtle-shaped signs at Beach Accesses 1, 8, 20 and 35 replicating the state park's sea turtle protection rules; the proposal will be forwarded to Town Council for final approval.
The Edisto Beach TIDE Committee on April 1 approved a plan to pilot the installation of four turtle-shaped signs that replicate the sea turtle protection rules posted at the state park. Committee members identified Beach Accesses 1, 8, 20 and 35 as the initial locations and voted unanimously to move the proposal to Town Council for consideration.
The motion to proceed was made by Ron Johnson and seconded by Lisa White; the committee recorded unanimous approval. Vice-Chair Edye Graves proposed producing matching turtle-shaped magnets for distribution to local realty firms to supplement the signage and outreach. The committee's action implements prior consultation with the Edisto Beach Loggerhead Turtle Project and is intended to standardize messaging and improve public awareness of nesting-season protections.
