When I think of how blessed people are to be able to live right ON the beach, I think of the expression "to whom much is given, much is expected". It's such a little thing, to keep your lights off during nesting season, but it makes such a huge difference...it is sad to hear of such irresponsible places as Pinellas County, but it gives me hope to hear about AM island. If I was lucky enough to live anywhere nearby, you can be sure I'd be lending a hand. Thanks for sharing so I can live vicariously!!
