Until May Willem Roosenburg, the terrapin project's head scientist, has placed me in charge of operations. The main problem is collecting any dead terrapins, especially if they are marked. So if anyone finds a dead terrapin I would ask them to put it in a plastic bag and freeze it. Then= = call me so I can pick it up. My number is 301-884-5378, or 301934-0092.= = I am coordinating my effort with the US fish and wildlife service and all= = dead terrapins will be cataloged for their records as well. Just so you know the study site runs from Golden Beach south to Sandgates= , = but we are interested in all dead terrapins, even if they are not from th= e = study site.
