be a painful sting. In order to prevent this, it is important to do the “Stingray Shuffle” when entering the water of Southwest<br />
Florida’s beaches. By shuffling your feet across the sandy bottom you can alert the stingray of your presence, they will<br />
uncover themselves and swim away. Stingrays don’t want to be stepped on anymore than you want to be stung! What<br />
should you do if you happen to step on a stingray and get stung? Head to the lifeguard stand when possible. If there isn’t<br />
one available try a nearby home, hotel, or restaurant. First aid for stingray stings involves flushing the wound with fresh<br />
water if possible and soaking the affected area in hot water (as hot as can be tolerated without causing burns). Most<br />
lifeguard stands have buckets and hot water on hand for stingray accidents. If the victim shows any signs of an allergic<br />

During the summer months, mother sea turtles emerge from the Gulf of Mexico during the late night hours. They slowly<br />
plow their way through the sand, hollow out a nest and lay around 100 ping-pong ball sized eggs. She will cover the eggs to<br />
protect and hide them from harm, and then crawl back out to sea. Each turtle nest will remain quiet for about two months<br />
as the baby turtles grow and mature. Instinct drives baby turtles to dig out of the sand that has been protecting them and<br />
follow the moonlight reflected on the water that will lead them to the sea. This event will happen over and over into October<br />
until all of the viable eggs have hatched. <strong>Visitor</strong>s staying in properties on the beachfront should turn outside lights off at<br />
night as the light confuses baby turtles. When your day at the beach is over, remember to fill in any holes dug on the beach<br />
before you leave, this will ensure that the hatchlings have a clear path through the sand and help them make it safely to the<br />
Gulf waters. Watching sea turtles can be an incredible experience for the whole family. Following the guidelines above will<br />
ensure that many families will enjoy the experience for years to come.<br />
