Project Terrapin also promotes their conser- vation using current scientific information through research and by supporting other organizations that promote conservation. What You Can Do: • If driving on roadways adjacent to marsh areas during the months of May, June, or July, drive slowly. Adult female terrapins may be crossing to nest. • Be careful if boating and/or using personal watercraft in marsh areas and try to avoid submerged aquatic vegetation beds. • If using commercial-style crab pots, use bycatch reduction devices (turtle exclud- ers). Contact MATES Project Terrapin to acquire them. • Do not take terrapins from the wild. In New Jersey, there are regulations prevent- ing turtle capture. • Do not support the online turtle industry. Hatchling sellers are a source of future depletion of the species. • If you live in an area with terrapins, consider a turtle garden. Visit www. projectterrapin.org for more information.

You can help support Project Terrapin by providing volunteer research time on field projects, donat- ing supplies and materials necessary for con- servation projects, and conducting surveys and education programs. For more information, visit www.projectterrapin.org, email projectterrapin@ gmail.com, or call (609) 978-8439. You can also follow them on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. If you find an injured, dying, or dead terrapin on land, contact Project Terrapin. Their eggs may still be able to hatch under proper care. Other organizations that support terrapins are the Diamondback Terrapin Working Group at The Wetlands Institute (www.dtwg.org or www.wetlandsinstitute.org/conservation/ terrapin-conservation) and the Conserve Wildlife Foundation of NJ (www.conservewildlifenj.org).
