TBSS International, Inc. Implements Pilot Program for Neon Lighting

Program in Fort Lauderdale to Test Effectiveness of "Turtle Light"

TAMPA, Fla., Jan. 20, 2012 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- TBSS International, Inc. (OTCQB: TBSS.OB) ("TBSS"), an international service company with service contracts in gold mining, oil drilling, water well drilling, trenching and construction and energy efficient lighting, announced today that the company has initiated a pilot program to test the effectiveness of the company's recently acquired energy efficient neon lighting under the Turtle Conservation Coastal Lighting Regulations.

Sea turtles in Florida nest almost always under cover of night because it protects the female from predators and from overheating if their exertions were under the sun. Because of this survival instinct, the market for "turtle-compliant" lighting on beachfront properties such as marinas, hotels and residences is large. Florida and U.S. statutes protect sea turtle nesting sites and require strict adherence to lighting limitations because the wrong type of lighting distracts and disorients the endangered species from nesting. Florida's coastal development is pervasive and ends up with a high level of artificial beachfront lighting. Lighting that produces a glare can make beaches unsuitable for sea turtle nesting as it confuses both nesting females and hatchlings. Lighting can dissuade female sea turtles from nesting on the beaches and can confuse them on returning to the sea after nesting is completed.

Because artificial lighting can impair the ability of hatchlings to properly orient to the ocean once they leave their nests, the need for non-disorienting lighting is acute. Hatchlings find the sea through instinctual visual signals stemming from brightness and artificial beachfront lighting causes hatchlings to become lost on their way to the sea from their nest--a trip that is fraught with danger from predators and the weather. Confused hatchlings can perish through exhaustion, getting stuck in debris and vegetation, dehydration or turning inland and crossing roadways and parking lots and traffic becomes their nemesis. Even after finding the sea, hatchlings can become disoriented and go back to the beach with all its dangers.

Fortunately, the artificial beachfront lighting threat to sea turtles may be easily solved. It is understandable and often necessary for human safety and security reasons to have lighting on the beaches and TBSS' neon lighting offers a long awaited energy efficient solution. The Turtle Conservation Coastal Lighting Regulations mandate that land and dock owners, high-rise owners, municipalities and state governments comply with "turtle friendly lighting" and the patented lighting system, particularly the TBSS lighting system, is the only light that turtles barely discern and, thereby, does not interfere with their natural instinct to nest on the beaches.
