Report turtle sightings, important nesting areas, and roadkill hotspots.

In 2006, the Massachusetts Division of Fisheries and Wildlife Natural Heritage and Endangered Species Program and the Turtle Conservation Project launched TurtleAtlas.org, to track occurrences of all species of turtle throughout the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

TurtleAtlas has been expanded to record three types of information:

  1. 1.Turtle Sightings. Report observations of single turtles (photo required)

  2. 2.Nesting Areas. Report important turtle nesting areas (where multiple turtles nest each year)

  3. 3.Roadkill Hotspots. Report locations where multiple turtles are killed on the road.

Volunteer to monitor a      ROADKILL HOTSPOT in 2010
