- Abstract
If this occurs there may be an increased need to conduct mechanical algae removal to restore marsh or waterway functions and habitat suitability, with a corresponding increase in the potential to entrain turtles in similar types of machines. Moorhen Marsh (hereafter, the Marsh) is part of the Peyton Slough Marsh Complex and is a 21-acre constructed freshwater wetland associated with and owned and operated by the Mt. View Sanitary District (MVSD) in Martinez, California. A relatively recently proposed taxonomic split in the Actinemys marmorata (Western pond turtle) created two named species, the A. marmorata (Northwestern pond turtle) and A. pallida (Southwestern pond turtle) ([8], [9], [10], [6]).
