The Western Pond Turtle (Actinemys marmorata, WPT) – a native freshwater turtle in California – is a species of special concern, as determined by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife and is currently under review to be listed as threatened by the Fish and Wildlife Service. In the Suisun Marsh, WPT are thought to be widespread based on observational data; however, little is known about their population status and habitat requirements in this part of their range. Suisun Marsh consists of a mosaic of tidal and managed brackish water wetlands, with 5,000–7,000 acres of tidal restoration planned by 2043. As changes like tidal restoration and predicted sea level rise occur, it will be increasingly important to understand how freshwater species like WPT respond. In this study, WPT were tracked before and after a restoration project at the Hill Slough Wildlife Area within Suisun Marsh using GPS/GSM trackers. On average home ranges increased after restoration, and in some cases WPT shifted the center of their home ranges by up to 1,500 meters. Lessons learned from this study can help inform adaptive management and provide guidelines for future restoration, aiding managers in efforts to conserve WPT in the future.
