Marine Academy students
have been learning and contributing to diamondback terrapin
conservation and wildlife practices through an exciting,
hands-on project at Barnegat Bay. Students have been
working in the field, developing lessons, and caring
for terrapins. This work is in conjunction with
Drexel University and is being conducted on NJ Division
of Fish and Wildlife property in the Sedge Island Wildlife
Management Area. It is also being supported by Toyota
Motor Sales, U.S.A, Inc. and Exelon (AmerGen Oyster
