To the Editor:

I live on the bay in Manahawkin. We have a pool, and each year when the terrapins come from the bay to lay their eggs in our yard, they often find their way into the pool. After years of “turtle patrol” and helping the turtles out of the pool with a long pool skimmer, the process gets frustrating.

The turtles are extremely fast when they catch a glimpse of you approaching. We’ve done many laps around the pool chasing turtles!
