Recent Mount Allison grads Issac Acker and Alexia McCormick are setting up traps around the Sackville Waterfowl Park this week, in hopes of catching and documenting the presence of the aquatic reptiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThere is currently a lack of scientific information regarding the presence of turtles in the Sackville\/Tantramar area,\u201d says McCormick. \u201cAnd so we are hoping to gain knowledge from community members to help us basically find turtles and close the gap.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>Hear McCormick and Acker on Tantramar Report:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-audio\"><audio controls src=\"https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/CHMA-Turtles.mp3\"><\/audio><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The hope is to find some populations of snapping and\/or painted turtles in the region. \u201cWe expect the populations to be pretty low just based on there being limited sightings around,\u201d says Acker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Populations of snapping and painted turtles have recently declined in Nova Scotia, but there\u2019s no information on what\u2019s happening to the creatures in New Brunswick. \u201cThere&#8217;s been almost no studies done on them,\u201d says Acker, \u201calthough they are present in parts of western New Brunswick, such as around Fredericton.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Along with the understanding of the populations comes possible protections, says Acker. \u201cThat&#8217;s why we want to see if these turtles are actually present here, so that we can help further protect them as they&#8217;re starting to do in Nova Scotia.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Acker and McCormick have started laying traps in the Waterfowl Park, but say they will move the traps around according to feedback from the public about where turtles may be living in the region. \u201cWe&#8217;re basically asking residents if they have ever seen a turtle in the Sackville or Tantramar area, what type of turtle, if they know, and the location of it,\u201d says McCormick. \u201cAnd then we&#8217;re looking to get permission to access the area.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG_2042.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-31007\" width=\"629\" height=\"627\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG_2042.png 1280w, https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/IMG_2042-768x767.png 768w\" \/><figcaption>One of the floating turtle traps that will be placed in waterways around Tantramar this summer.
