Longboat Key’s Planning, Zoning and Building staff will continue revising proposed changes in the town's rules for sea turtle protection, aiming for a final vote on July 2, the Town Commission's last planned meeting before the summer break.

If passed, the changes wouldn’t take effect until the 2022 turtle season, which runs each year from May 1-Oct. 31. Specifically, commissioners wanted the ordinance to clarify what specifically a “turtle-friendly light bulb” means. The proposed ordinance says they are bulbs that are certified by the state Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission or a bulb that produces only long-wavelength light, which is 560 nanometers or longer.
