Turtles Crossing-Drive Carefully!



Why does the turtle cross the road? To get to the other side of course! Female diamondback terrapins looking for alternative nesting grounds cross SH Blvd. and the roads on the island. When on SH Blvd, please watch your speed, and allow plenty of distance between cars in case a turtle stop is necessary. The Wetlands Institute has had a Terrapin Rescue project since 1989. To find out more information, visit The Wetlands Institute or www.wetlandsinstitute.org.
