		The word "terrapin" is derived from the Algonquian Indian word "torope" and is used to refer to a variety of North American aquatic turtles of the family Emydiolae, especially the genus Malaclemys.
		The diamondback terrapin is the state reptile of the state of Maryland and the official mascot of the University of Maryland.

	Diamondback Terrapin Still Vulnerable to Human Activities
		The terrapin is the only species of turtle in the United States that routinely occupies brackish-water habitats, occurring in tidal creeks of estuaries along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts from Cape Cod, MA, to Corpus Christi, TX.
		In recognition of the demand for terrapins, the State of Maryland enacted a law in 1878 providing a closed season and a size limit for the species, but it was almost too late: prices increased with demand, and wild stocks became depleted.
		On the whole, the ability of terrapins to stay in the same tidal creek despite daily tidal fluctuations and storms is but one reflection of the remarkable resiliency of the salt-marsh ecosystem.
