Installing a new underwater cable to power the Cape Lookout Lighhouse could have potentially disturbed the coastal environment and species like this leatherback sea turtle observed from the ferry between Cape Lookout National Seashore and Harker's Island, North Carolina, May 16, 2017. The shift to solar panels to power the light aligns with the Coast Guard's mission to protect marine environments and living marine resources.
