Turtles of Maine

Turtles have fascinated people for millennia and occupy a special place across many of the world’s cultures. They also occupy special places in their respective ecosystems and are considered to be the among the most threatened group of vertebrates globally. Maine is home to 7 species of freshwater turtles, from the small and secretive spotted turtle to the unmistakable and ornery common snapping turtle. The Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife keeps track of all Maine freshwater turtle species and is actively studying populations of Maine’s Endangered, Threatened, and Special Concern turtle species.
