Save the Turtle!

The Diamondback Terrapin, a native of the Chesapeake Bay, is the Maryland state reptile. It is also the mascot of the University of Maryland, College Park. Once prodigious in number, the Terrapin is facing tremendous pressures on its environment that threaten its very existence.

The Terrapin Institute is dedicated to helping preserve the Terrapin. We plan to support the Institute's efforts by donating a portion of the sale of every bottle for the cause. Please visit the Institute's website to learn more.
