Sea Turtle Nesting Season will continue until October 31st. Female turtles lay their eggs in the sand during this time, and the baby turtles will hatch two months later. Lights adjacent to the beach confuse the baby turtles and lead them to their death instead of to their home in the ocean. It is important to continue to comply with local lighting regulations and keep your balcony and porch lights turned off during nesting season! Reminders during this Season (May 1 - October 31, Sunset to Sunrise): 1. NO LIGHT SOURCE FROM ANY PART OF YOUR PROPERTY SHALL BE VISIBLE TO A PERSON STANDING ON ANY PART OF THE BEACH. This includes recreational, decorative, dune crosswalk, and interior lighting, regardless of light color. 2. NO LIGHT FROM ANY PART OF YOUR PROPERTY SHALL ILLUMINATE ANY PART OF THE BEACH, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY (reflected). This includes recreational, decorative, dune crosswalk, and interior lighting, regardless of light color. 3. NO REFLECTIVE SURFACE OF A FIXTURE SHALL BE VISIBLE TO A PERSON STANDING ON THE BEACH. Thank you for helping to protect our nesting sea turtles! For more regulations, information, and ways to help: www.volusiaseaturtles.org

Jeffrey Annon, V ice President of Southern States Management Group, noted, "Focusing on community engagement has been a successful initiative for us. Our aim has been to develop programs and events that not only bring a community together to understand and appreciate each other more, but we also want to deliver something that provides exceptional value for their investment." He added, "Beyond amenities and good fiscal management, it's important to show community members that they're getting a return on investment in other ways. One of the best ways we have done that is through https://innoviaco-op.com/making-the-grade-why-community-management-companie s-should-focus-on-continuing-education education and outreach programs."
