Actually it gives notice that people have been going to fast... And it's at the cost of the wildlife... And it was only a matter of time that someone was hurt....

Would you have rather them shut the beach down during the turtle season?

The balance of man and nature is tough... If those would have been responsible and slowed down in the first place we would not be seeing this regulation.

simply NOT TRUE

there has NEVER been any evidence of vehicular traffic on PINS interfering with turtles, much less running over one or killing one. Not once, NEVER

again, just to make sure we are all in agreement. This is about the safetyof our friends & family and of course the turtles

They must be trying to cut back on visitors to the island, and this is one way. Anyway here's a loggerhead run over on Hatteras Island National Seashore. Guess they figure it might happen at Padre at some point.

and thats a shame, but you can still buy pickled turtle eggs in beachside bars in Panama
