terrapin hatchling to the National Marine Life Center in Buzzards Bay.\u00c2\u00a0 They had discovered this hatchling, likely born in the fall of 2011, crawling aimlessly on Rose Point, which juts out into the Sippican River.\u00c2\u00a0 They had kept it through the spring and summer, but were alerted by recent newspaper articles about the protected status of these threatened turtles.\u00c2\u00a0 NMLC called Turtle Journal and Don Lewis retrieved the hatchling for return back into the wild.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.turtlejournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/WEBT-960.jpg\"
