Environmental professionals, conservationists and educators are invited to join us to learn about the natural history and conservation needs of this imperiled coastal species.  This symposium will focus on connecting ongoing research to coastal aquatic management efforts.  Participants will better understand diamondback terrapin ecology and habitat requirements.  The goal is to encourage sound management decisions that will benefit this species.  Attendees will receive a set of newly developed educational material and sample bycatch reduction devices. Refreshments and lunch will be provided.  Space is limited and advance registration is required.
