St. Pete Beach: Concert vs. Sea Turtle Nesting

0:00Environmental groups in St. Pete Beach are pushing back hard against the country-thunder concert planned for early May right on the sand. They're worried about 12,000 fans, a hundred tents, and two stages messing up nesting spots for sea turtles and black skimmers just as the season kicks off. The events set up in front of the trade winds resort, Prime Beach front during peak nesting time, and advocates call it straight up irresponsible for. Summer Wildlife Lisa Reich from the Coastal Wildlife Advocacy Group led the charge, fired up about giving wildlife a voice, and got tons of community backing to shift. It inland instead. City managers stepped in recently, asking organizers to relocate over permitting snags, which has folks like Reich celebrating as a solid win now. A waiting word from the resort and promoters on the next move. Teva Bay News today, powered by AI, bringing you what matters. I'm Cory with the story.
