Have you seen me?
That's the question Brevard County wildlife leaders are asking, hoping people will help them spot a rarely 'seen' turtle whose home is the Indian River Lagoon.
The more eyes the better, say the conservationists at the Brevard Zoo. Florida's East Coast Diamondback Terrapin isn't often seen.
That's a big worry.
They are all about protecting this certain species of turtle which lives in and around the waters of the Space Coast, and right now is nesting along the brackish waters of the Indian and Banana Rivers.
"We don't know a lot about them. What we do know is based on research from the 1970s. So we're really trying to figure out what their status is now," said Amy Reaume, Brevard Zoo Conservation Coordinator.
Similar turtles species live from Texas to Massachusetts and are considered endangered.
It is believed the number of these reptiles here in Florida is also dwindling.
Predators like raccoons, loss of habitat and accidental drowning in crab traps are the culprits.
"It's such a simple device, place it on here with four zip ties and there you go," said Reaume, as she showed us a trap.
The zoo offers 'turtle excluder devices,' a fancy term for plastic gizmos that keep turtles looking for a bait meal out of the crab traps.
But their big goal is hoping anyone who spots a Diamondback Terrapin and its distinctive markings lets the zoo know.
"We're working with our partners to map their locations," said Reaume.
"If they would remember the diamond, the diamond is very important," zoo patron Rachael Rinelli said after getting some info.
More information on how to report a terrapin sighting is available on the Brevard Zoo website.
