#Repost from our Totally Awesome Vegan Conservationists Friends at... @vegan4fauna @download.ins --- Diamondback terrapins face a growing number of threats, including being caught in crab traps as bycatch. Crab traps are putting the future of this turtle species in jeopardy. The FWC is seeking public comment on proposed changes to rule 68A-25.002, F.A.C., for diamondback terrapin in Florida. The new proposal would eliminate take of terrapins from the wild and prohibit possession except where an FWC-issued permit was authorized. The FWC is taking public comment now until October 2nd. 🐢❤️ Please click on the link below for more information. https://myfwc.com/wildlifehabitats/wildlife/freshwater-turtles/ #diamondbackterrapin #fwc #turtle #animaladvocate #oneprotest #florida #wildlife #reptiles https://www.instagram.com/p/CE7L2qyhY2b/?igshid=ff4se9cwd1kh

This tiny tot washed ashore on the beach. I got called because it was a turtle, but this isn’t a sea turtle! This baby diamondback terrapin was safely handed off to a permitted university professor to be documented and then returned to a better-suited environment. Such a tiny little nugget! #naturephotography #baby #turtle #diamondbackterrapin #cute #animal #conservation #doyourpart #neverstopexploring #neverstoplearning @swfl_turtle_project @the_restless_unicorn https://www.instagram.com/p/B-FAQ7djrcE/?igshid=31pgkrd1rqz
