Please Drive Slowly
Please drive slowly and be on the look-out for Diamondback Terrapin Turtles as they cross our busy roads in search of nesting spots! If you see a Diamondback Terrapin crossing the street and you want to offer her assistance, help the turtle go in the direction she is headed if you are able – BUT ALWAYS THINK “SAFETY FIRST” and use caution whenever you step into the street. Also, please don't stand over turtles and take photos while they are nesting...this may frighten them and they'll walk away.
If you see an injured turtle, please phone Susan or Steve Ahern, of Sea Isle Terrapin Rescue, at 609-263-7358. If the Aherns are not available, please follow the instructions on their answering machine.
