The Terrapin Tally is a citizen science project conducted in partnership with the NC Wildlife Resources Commission to measure the status of diamondback terrapin populations. Volunteers work in pairs to conduct headcount surveys on specific kayak routes to document diamondback terrapin sightings.

For the 7th season of the Terrapin Tally project, we are expanding to include numerous federal, state, and local partners with the addition of ten sites, spanning the coast from Carteret to Brunswick County. Register today!
