Road Researchers Guides

NOTE: THERE ARE DANGERS IN THIS ACTIVITY

Road Researchers have the important job of documenting turtle sightings, helping turtles cross the road, spotting nesting turtles and identifying areas of high turtle traffic. Below we have attached the Road Research Protocols and Reporting Intentional Harm to Turtles so that you know the best ways to help with our turtle conservation efforts.

Reporting Intentional Harm to Turtles

If you see someone intentionally harming a turtle, please follow the decision tree to the right.

It takes a single turtle 60 years to replace itself, so it is of the utmost importance that we do our best to protect each one!

Please drive cautiously (click here for more information on how to drive safely for wildlife) and report suspicious actions to the appropriate authorities.

Harming turtles is illegal and there are criminal ramifications to doing so such as up to $250,000 in fines and 5 years in prison for an individual.
