DAYTONA BEACH SHORES, Fla. – With sea turtle nesting season starting on May 1 in Volusia County—where cleanup and reconstruction from last year's hurricanes is still going on—that could mean a big problem for oceanfront property owners who haven't started work yet. According to a Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission law for turtle nesting season, if the property owners don't get the permits and work started by May 1, they'll have to wait until the season ends in November. That means they would also be at even more risk this hurricane season.
