Miami-Dade Parks operates the County Sea Turtle Conservation Program and surveys County coastline during nesting season. Coastal lighting, special-event and development requirements can also depend on the municipality, park, environmental review and current state or local rules. StartFL should identify the exact coastal jurisdiction and use the current Parks, environmental and municipal guidance rather than applying one blanket beach-lighting rule countywide.
