"Exploiting these wavelengths is exciting because it represents a step toward making fibers that can serve as infrared lasers," Badding explained. Chapter 370 protect sea turtles. It is illegal to harm sea turtles, their nests or hatchlings. Miami Beach is a nesting habitat for sea turtles. Annually, from April-November, sea turtles nest on Florida's beaches. Female sea turtles nest 3-5 times biennial and lay approximately 100 eggs per nest.
