The Newsletter of the Diamondback Terrapin Working Group Volume 5 Issue 2

Winter 2020
The unintended capture, or bycatch, of diamondback terrapins in
commercial and recreational blue crab fisheries is one of the leading
causes of terrapin population declines. Terrapins that are captured
in fully submerged crab traps cannot reach the surface to breath and
may drown in a matter of minutes to hours. A Bycatch Reduction
Device (BRD) installed in the funnel opening of a crab trap prevents
terrapins from entering the trap by reducing the dimensions of the
funnel opening. BRDs are typically rectangular in shape and can be
constructed from plastic or heavy gauge wire. These devices are
inexpensive, easily installed, and proven to be effective at reducing
terrapin bycatch. Even so, BRDs face strong resistance from crabbers
due to the perceived effects on crab catch. Alterations in BRD
configuration or placement could alleviate some of the fishing
community concerns regarding BRD impacts on crab catch and
additional research and development of BRD designs is ongoing. The
large majority of studies to assess the effectiveness of BRDs have
shown no significant effect on crab catch and significant reductions in
terrapin bycatch. Given the strong evidence for the negative impacts
of fisheries interactions on terrapin populations and the effectiveness
of BRDs in reducing terrapin bycatch, a group of DTWG Officers and
Regional Representatives drafted a Position Statement on The
Negative Effects of Blue Crab Traps/Pots on Diamondback Terrapin
Populations and the Use of Bycatch Reduction Devices as a Practical,
Inexpensive Solution. The Position Statement was forwarded to the
DTWG Membership for an electronic vote in September 2020. The
Position Statement was supported unanimously by all 30 Members
who participated in the vote, and the Position Statement was
officially adopted in November 2020. You may access the Position
Statement on the DTWG website. Thank you to all members who
took the time to weigh in on this important issue. ~ Amanda Williard

Charlotte Sornborger is the first recipient of the
DTWG Citizen Conservation Award.
Charlotte Sornborger is awarded the inaugural DTWG
Citizen Conservation Award
The DTWG established the Citizen Conservation Award in
May 2020 to acknowledge the outstanding contributions
of community members to the conservation of diamond-
back terrapins. The DTWG Officers and Regional Repre-
sentatives are happy to announce that Ms. Charlotte Sorn-
borger is the first recipient of this newly established
award. This award recognizes Charlotte’s long-term
efforts to protect diamondback terrapins in Rhode Island
and to promote the conservation of diamondback terra-
pins through education and outreach. From 1986-2005,
Charlotte served as President of the Barrington Land Con-
servation Trust (BLCT). Under Charlotte’s leadership, the
BLCT acquired over 100 acres of land and coordinated
with the Barrington Town Council and the Rhode Island
Department of Environmental Management to establish a
75-acre conservation easement to protect terrapin
nesting sites. Charlotte’s role in protecting important
nesting habitats is a legacy that will contribute to terrapin
conservation for years to come. Through Charlotte’s col-
laborations with academic institutions she fostered a re-
search program that resulted in a greater understanding
of terrapin nesting behaviors in New England and contrib-
uted to the training of future scientists and conservation-
ists. She established partnerships with the University of
Rhode Island, Rhode Island College, Wheaton College, and
many local elementary and high schools. She provided op-
portunities for high school interns to participate in terra-
pin mark-recapture studies and trained college students in
research methods for terrapins.
The Citizen Conservation Award recognizes citizens who promote diamondback terrapin conservation in
tangible ways, either through volunteer work with non-profit organizations or as an independent advo-
cate for protection of terrapins and their habitats. The award will be granted every three years, concur-
rent with the triennial symposium. Current members of the DTWG may nominate individuals for the
award by submitting a written letter of recommendation. The letter should document the specific activ-
ities and accomplishments of the nominee and highlight how the actions of the nominee have resulted
in significant advances in diamondback terrapin conservation (i.e. establishment of long-term monitor-
ing programs, enhanced measures to protect terrapins and their habitat, broad scale advances in public
education regarding terrapin conservation). Letters of nomination and support may be submitted to
DTWG Senior Co-Chair Amanda Williard (williarda@uncw.edu). The DTWG Officers and Regional Repre-
sentatives will consider nominations for the award and select one based on majority vote. The awardee
will receive a certificate acknowledging their contributions to diamondback terrapin conservation.
Charlotte’s work over the past three decades helped build consensus and support for terrapin conser-
vation between governmental agencies, conservation organizations, and members of the public. Her
efforts have been instrumental in protecting terrapins in Rhode Island. She is an excellent advocate for
terrapin conservation and a very worthy recipient of the DTWG Citizen Conservation Award. Charlotte
also received the 2020 Northeast Partners in Amphibian and Reptile Conservation (NEPARC) Communi-
ty Conservation Award. Congratulations, Charlotte!

Do you know someone in your community that has made a significant contri-
bution to the conservation of diamondback terrapins? Nominate them for
the DTWG Citizen Conservation Award!

“Bayley” is a captive, female diamondback terrapin that is housed at the Nature Center at Island Beach
State Park, NJ. She is sharing a display with another female terrapin, “Ellie” that cannot be released back
to the wild as she has a vision problem. Bayley’s story is about her journey from the wild into captivity
and trying to get back home. It started with an email on October 14, 2019 by Barbara Brennessel
through the Diamondback Terrapin Working Group list serve with a posted PIT tag code of a
diamondback terrapin that was housed in Maine and purchased at a reptile expo. Barbara reached out to
determine if “this female (terrapin) was tagged in anyone’s study?” The PIT tag (492A5C6462) was
scanned by Dr. Laura Leighton, veterinarian, who contacted the New England Aquarium that started the
correspondence with Barbara to identify any study that may have marked the captive female terrapin.
On October 15, 2019 we identified the female terrapin as being originally marked on June20, 2008 by
Claire Sheridan as part of a Barnegat Bay, NJ study under Principal Investigator Harold W. Avery. At the
time of her initial capture she was aged at 7 years (using plastron annuli) and weighed 805 grams. Since,
she was subsequently recaptured in 2013 by Ben Wurst, Biologist, Conserve Wildlife Foundation of New
Jersey, who is coordinating a terrapin population study at Great Bay Boulevard. Since that time, there
was nothing known about Bayley until 2019, but she was a victim of the illegal pet trade and possibly
used in captive breeding.

Special Agents from US Fish and Wildlife Service Office of Law Enforcement worked with New Jersey
Division of Fish and Wildlife Law Enforcement, and the Endangered and Non-Game Species Program to
obtain more details on where Bayley may have been housed and sold. Prior to 2016, New Jersey had a
seasonal harvest on terrapins which was legal the end of November through March each year as long as
the terrapins were at least 5” (carapace length) and not taken using dredges, nets, rakes, and other
mechanical means; however, legislation was passed and signed into law by NJ Governor Chris Christie in
July 2016, making it illegal to harvest terrapins. There was a specific incident prior to 2016 that moved
this law when over 4300 terrapins were harvested and sold to a breeding facility in Maryland over a two
year period of time. It was determined that the first year, 3500 terrapins (mostly adult females) were
legally captured, but the following year, it was determined that the hundreds of terrapins were taken
using illegal dredging practices. The area where this mass harvest took place was 30 minutes south of
the habitat in which Bayley lived.

Terrapin Tale: Bayley’s Long Journey Home
Contributed by John Wnek
Since the illegal harvest law in 2016, there has
been a case where Dave Sommers, Pennsylvania,
illegally dug up terrapin eggs and took adult fe-
males from Great Bay Boulevard, the same loca-
tion where “Bayley” was taken (see article). After
an investigation during the summer of 2017 by NJ
Division of Wildlife Conservation Officers, in Au-
gust 2019, Dave Sommers was prosecuted and
sentenced to six months in prison, six month pro-
bation, and a $250,000 restitution fine for pos-
sessing over 3400 diamondback terrapins (adult
females and hatchlings) at his home in Levittown,
PA. This activity by Dave Sommers took place over
five years. The exact date and year that Bayley
was taken is uncertain; however, her captivity led
her to Tennessee, Massachusetts and eventually
Maine, where she was identified and surrendered.
Bayley is currently housed at The Nature Center at Island
Beach State Park, New Jersey
Thanks to Jordan Gray of the Turtle Survival Alliance,
Bayley was transported back to New Jersey where
she was received by the Marine Academy of Tech-
nology and Environmental Science (MATES) Project
Terrapin, NJ. It was determined by wildlife biologists
and terrapin experts that she needed to be quaran-
tined and evaluated for health to be considered for
release back into the wild. The Nature Center at Is-
land Beach State Park was an ideal location to house
Bayley. At IBSP, she was named during a social me-
dia campaign to promote awareness of her captive
status. Story continued on the next page.

Terrapin Tale, continued from previous page. New Jersey Division of Fish and Wildlife biologist Brian Zar-
ate, along with Dr. Nicole Lewis, veterinarian, established a protocol for Bayley’s potential release, which
included a health assessment component. The goal was to assess 30 wild adult terrapins from the Great
Bay population, along with Bayley and her tank mate, Ellie. All terrapins were tested for Ranavirus, Her-
pesvirus, blood parasites, fecal pathogens, blood chemistry and Mycoplasma spp. Both Bayley and Ellie
were negative for all tests, and the 30 wild individual test results indicate that the health conditions are
conducive for Bayley’s release back to the wild. However, it was recommended that Bayley quarantine
longer and we develop a release plan to transition her gradually into the system and find a way to moni-
tor her long-term progress. We will keep you updated on Bayley’s progress as this case study will serve
as a model for introducing adult diamondback terrapins back into the population. It also emphasizes the
importance of mark and recapture studies, and how one PIT tag can lead to an illegally captured terrapin
getting back home. More information will be made available at projectterrapin.org .
Regional Updates
NORTHEAST REGION

Harbor Dredging: Dredging began in Wellfleet Harbor, Massachusetts this Fall. During this time of year,
terrapins enter brumation and some of them burrow under the sediments in the mooring basin and oth-
er areas within the 12+ acre dredge zone (Castro-Santos, Bolus and Danylchuk: Assessing Risks from Har-
bor Dredging to the Northernmost Population of Diamondback Terrapins using Acoustic Telemetry. Estu-
aries and Coasts, Nov. 2018). With the inevitable “take” of terrapins, which are listed as “threatened” in
MA, the Town of Wellfleet set up an account to mitigate for the loss of terrapins. The Town has provided
$16,800 to benefit terrapins by providing land protection, conservation, research, habitat management
and/or conservation planning.
Massachusetts Sub-Group Meeting: Priority Populations: A 14-member sub-group of researchers and
conservationists from the Northeast Region met virtually on October 16, 2020 to discuss research and
conservation initiatives. The meeting was organized by UMASS Ph.D. Candidate Patricia Lavasseur and
attended by individuals and organizations from Cape Cod, Buzzards Bay, the Taunton River Watershed
and Rhode Island. This first meeting of the group was held as part of a contract between the Massachu-
setts Division of Fisheries and Wildlife (MassWildlife) Natural Heritage & Endangered Species Program
(NHESP) and Massachusetts Audubon Society’s Wellfleet Bay Sanctuary to facilitate the effective moni-
toring of priority populations of Diamondback Terrapins in Massachusetts through the expansion of
standardized, repeatable survey protocols to other terrapin populations in Massachusetts, and evalua-
tion of environmental covariates on abundance and distribution of terrapins in Wellfleet Bay.
New York Sub-Group: John Turner (Seatuck Environmental Organization) has organized a sub-group
based in Long Island, NY for people interested in terrapin conservation in this area. The sub-group has
met in 2018 and 2019. Please contact John Turner (jturner@seatuck.org) if you are interested in joining
this sub-group.
Massachusetts Crab Pot Mortality: Recently, terrapin mortality has been documented in pots targeting
blue crabs along the south coast of Massachusetts. The sub-group also worked on a draft letter to the
MA Division of Marine Fisheries, which addresses potential solutions to terrapin mortality in lobster/
edible crab pots.
Next Regional Meeting: Regional Representative Russ Burke (NY) is planning a regional meeting some-
time in Spring 2021, resorting to a virtual platform if the meeting cannot be held in person. Date and fur-
ther information to be announced.

Regional updates continued on the next page.
SOUTHEAST REGION

North Carolina Diamondback Terrapin Management Areas: In May 2020 the North Carolina Marine Fish-
eries Commission established two areas in southeastern North Carolina where the use of agency-
approved bycatch reduction devices (BRDs) will be required on all crab pots. The Diamondback Terrapin
Management Areas (DTMAs) encompass all waters within the Masonboro Island Estuarine Research Re-
serve, the Zeke’s Island Estuarine Research Reserve, and Bald Head Island State Natural Area. The man-
agement measures will go into place during the closed season for crab in winter 2021 to allow crabbers
to make the required modifications to their fishing gear so that they are in compliance for the spring
2021 open season. These management measures will enhance efforts to reduce terrapin bycatch in the
blue crab fishery with a particular focus on areas where terrapin populations have been documented and
well-studied. Learn more about this management measure HERE.

Regional Updates
MID-ATLANTIC REGION

BRD legislation on hold in Virginia: The Virginia Marine Resources Commission (VMRC) has taken up the
issue of terrapin mortality in crab pots, but a regulatory change to require excluder devices on recrea-
tional pots would require a change to the legislative Code. Unfortunately all VMRC legislation currently is
on hold. We are in a wait and see period affected by COVID impacts.
The crab trap app!: The Virginia Institute of Marine Science continues to lead the way in removal of dere-
lict crab pots from Virginia waters. Over the years they have worked with watermen and women to re-
move some 40,000 derelict pots. Now, VIMS is encouraging citizens to be involved in the effort with a
program to encourage folks to assist with trap removal. Citizens use the “crab trap app” to ID the loca-
tion and status of the derelict crab pot they find and pull from the water:
https://www.vims.edu/ccrm/research/marine_debris/solutions/removal/app/crabtrap-app-2.pdf
Seagrass habitat for terrapins: The University of Virginia’s Long-Term Ecological Research site on the
Eastern Shore of Virginia is home to the largest contiguous seagrass restoration project, now at over
9,000 acres and growing.
https://news.virginia.edu/content/some-good-news-seagrass-restored-eastern-shore-bays-flourishing
This original seagrass habitat was wiped out by disease and storms a century ago and is only now return-
ing. Is this new habitat being used by terrapins? Proposals are being developed.
Building the better BRD: Virginia Tech and Hampton University received a small grant ($10K) for 2021 to
involve college and high school students in the design, 3D-printing and testing of novel BRDs for use in
commercial-style crab pots.
NOAA Marine Debris Program: This NOAA program is addressing marine debris at the regional level as
part of their Marine Debris Strategy for 2021-2025 (NOAA Marine Debris Link). NOAA has established
and continues to develop regional action plans (see link) in areas that encompass diamondback terrapin
habitat. There is a draft Mid-Atlantic Action Plan under review that will address four main goals for 2021-
2026: Goal 1- Understand, Prevent, and Mitigate the Impacts of Consumer Debris; Goal 2 - Understand,
Prevent, and Mitigate the Impacts of Derelict Fishing Gear; Goal 3 - Understand, Prevent, and Mitigate
the Impacts of Microplastics and Microfibers; and Goal 4 - Prevent and Mitigate the Contributions of
Abandoned and Derelict Vessels, Shrink Wrap, and Fiberglass Debris (Related-Debris). Under Goal 2,
there are a numbers of projects that will be important for the future of terrapin populations, especially
those dealing with the impacts of abandoned or lost crab pots.
COVID 19 Impacts: Many of the diamondback terrapin population studies, conservation projects and out-
reach efforts were limited during the pandemic, but were able to move ahead thanks to invaluable vol-
unteers who followed social distancing protocols. Barnegat Bay, NJ continued under Project Terrapin,
The Terrapin Nesting Project, the Mordecai Land Trust and the Conserve Wildlife Foundation of NJ
(CWFNJ). Thanks to the many volunteers, student interns, and research assistants, we were able to com-
plete many of the objectives set out. One such project was the installation of a new terrapin nesting area
on Great Bay Boulevard (origin of the captive terrapin, Bayley). Under the direction of Ben Wurst,
CWFNJ, ninety dump truck loads of sand were used to create this necessary “Turtle Garden” in response
to loss of terrapin nesting habitat. We may have been socially distant, but our volunteers, responsibly,
made for a successful field season.
FLORIDA REGION

Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission updates: The Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission (FWC) contin-
ues to deliberate on the use of bycatch reduction devices (BRDs) to address the issue of terrapin bycatch
in blue crab fisheries. Management measures under consideration include requiring 2” x 6” BRDs on crab
pots and requiring BRDs in certain areas associated with terrapin presence. More clarity on this issue is
expected by the beginning of 2021.
GULF REGION

Terrapin Conservation Action Plan Updates: Workshops for the Gulf of Mexico Alliance Conservation
Action Plan have been completed and the Action Plan is in development. More news on the roll-out of
the Action Plan will be available in Summer 2021.

Greetings to all supporters of the Diamondback Terrapin Working Group (DTWG)! It is time for your annual
membership renewal. Since 2009 all DTWG membership dues have gone to fund research on terrapins. We usually
receive proposals requesting over $20,000, and our grants committee selects the most promising ones for funding. In past
years, we have funded projects as diverse as testing BRDs on crab pots, genetic diversity, skeletochronology, mark-
recapture and home range studies, to name a few. Obviously, there is a need out there for these funds so please dig down
and pay your dues.
We again intend to use all dues collected this year to fund grants, which we will award in spring 2021. We will announce
grant proposal requirements and a deadline date for submission by the end of this year. Of course, the first requirement is
that the awardees be members of DTWG. We anticipate collecting between $1000 and $2000 in dues and all that we
collect will go to these awards. Also remember that membership comes with the privilege of using the Bibliography page
on the DTWG website.
