Let’s Help Keep The Awesome Turtles Safe Down The Jersey Shore in Summer 2024
We all can debate our favorite animals for hours, whether that be dogs, cats, or anything in between, but one thing we should all agree upon is that turtles are one of the cooler animals on earth.
If you disagree, well, I am sure you can at least agree with the next statement I am about to make below!
Let’s help keep the turtles safe down the shore this summer!
All of us in the greater Delaware Valley love the Jersey Shore this time of year, and many of us make multiple trips down during this great season.
Hell, many have houses down there!
But let’s not forget that way before any of us enjoyed our time down the shore, these great animals called that area their home first!

Help Save The Turtles
So, make sure you help keep some turtles safe if you see them this summer.
I know I remind everyone every year about this cause, but it is a good one.
If you see a turtle, more specifically, a diamondback terrapin, trying to cross the street, help it get to the other side so we can avoid it getting run over by a car on accident.
Each year, the turtles come out of the marsh in search of sandy soil to lay their eggs and create more awesome turtles.
Diamondback terrapins can actually live up to 30-40 years if they avoid tragic events.
Unfortunately, traffic, roadwork, and predators can be a real threat.
So, the least we can do is our part to help ensure these amazing creatures get to go on with their lives!
I even had the chance to save a few myself when I was down the shore last week, and believe me, they are all over the place so keep your eyes peeled.
Otherwise, have a fun summer down the shore, and let’s keep those turtles safe!
