Diamondback Terrapin - Maryland's Official Reptile
Jeff Popp
Terrapin Institute
Admission: Free — donations welcome
Jeff Popp of the Terrrapin Institute has worked to protect terrapins and their habitat since he was in high school. He will tell us about the Institute's terrapin conservation efforts and what we can do to support them.
The Terrapin Institute
conservation efforts are simple, productive, and measurable:
(1) Protect the adult population of terrapins by removing man-made hazards,
discouraging commercial harvests, and purchasing market terrapins, mark
and release them for later study;
(2) Increase terrapin reproduction by protecting eggs and hatchlings,
head-start hatchlings in cooperation with citizens and students, mark and release all salvaged
hatchlings for later study.
(3) Protect terrapin tidewater habitat by providing free advice to property
owners and discouraging shoreline hardening.

Snakeheads
Donald T. Cosden
Assistant Director for Inland Fisheries Management, Fisheries Service, Maryland Dept of Natural Resources
Admission: Free — donations welcome
At all life stages, snakeheads will compete with native species for food. As adults, these fish become voracious predators, feeding upon other fishes, crustaceans, frogs, small reptiles and sometimes birds and mammals. If snakeheads become established in North American ecosystems, their predatory behavior could drastically modify the array of native species.
