Abstract:

Atlantic sturgeon populations, once abundant along the east coast and North Carolina, declined until a moratorium was declared in 1991. Fish specimens collected in Albermarle Sound and the Cape Fear River were examined. Snout shortening was observed in the sturgeon but reasons for this are still unknown.

East coast barrier islands such as Kiawah Island, South Carolina serve as critical habitat for endemic diamondback terrapins, which are particularly vulnerable to anthropogenic disturbances. A radiotelemetry study provides new insight to understanding terrapin habitat use and site fidelity.
