Turtle awareness is an important aspect in Sea Isle City. There are numerous signs in the city to watch for turtle crossings in order to prevent further endangerment of the species. One of the more common species of turtles located on the island is the [[diamondback terrapin]]. Due to coastal development, natural turtle nesting areas have deteriorated, leading the turtles to create their nesting areas on highway embankments and increased risk of being struck by a motor vehicle. From 1989 to 1995, a total of 4,020 turtles were killed in Cape May Peninsula.<ref>{{cite journal|last1=Wood|first1=Roger|last2=Herlands|first2=Rosalind|title=Turtles and tires: the impact of roadkills on northern diamondback terrapin, Malaclemys terrapin terrapin, populations on the Cape May Peninsula, southern New Jersey, USA|journal=Proceedings: Conservation, Restoration, and Management of Tortoises and Turtles-An International Conference|date=1997|volume=1}}</ref>
