Make a Difference

Join us in protecting endangered sea turtles and their habitats. Your donation directly saves lives of sea turtles and helps restore marine ecosystems.

Your Contribution Matters!

Sea turtles have been roaming our oceans for millions of years, playing a vital role in marine ecosystems. But today, their survival is threatened. By sponsoring a sea turtle, you help us:

  • Protect nesting beaches.

  • Rescue and rehabilitate injured turtles.

  • Educate communities on marine conservation.

Quick Impact Statistics

  • Over 1,000 hatchlings are saved annually.

  • Hundreds of cold-stunned sea turtles are rescued each winter.

  • 10,000 pounds of plastic waste removed from beaches in the last year.

We are committed to saving sea turtles through rescue, rehabilitation, and education. Operating under the Endangered Species Act, we work with partners to protect these gentle giants and their habitats.

  • 100% of your sponsorship goes directly to turtle conservation efforts.

  • Regular updates and reports ensure you see the impact of your support.

We would like to extend special thanks to our new family of nest adopters for their generosity and support.
