Turtle Journal

The SouthCoast offers protected estuaries from Wareham to Westport that formerly supported rich terrapin populations. Today, small remnant populations have been confirmed on both east and west coasts of Buzzards Bay. A few dedicated homeowners have created sandy “turtle gardens” to offer increased nesting areas to compensate for centuries-long human development of the SouthCoast shoreline.
