Take Action

We’re excited that you are ready to take action and make a difference to help our sea turtles! The main ways that you can take action are by making a donation, becoming a volunteer or joining us as an intern.

ADOPTION

If you are looking for sponsorship opportunities or would like to donate larger amounts, to create a bigger impact, we advise you to join our Adopt a Nest program or our Adopt a Patient program.

 

Adopt a Nest

If you are looking for sponsorship opportunities or would like to donate larger amounts, to create a bigger impact, we advise you to join our Adopt a Nest program.

In the course of this program, you can adopt a sea turtle nest, which provides us with enough funds to support the safety of nests.  This includes regular monitoring of beaches where sea turtles are seen most often, covering the clean-up costs, to ensure these beaches are clean and safe for the turtles to nest and hatch. In addition, these funds are also used to protect and cure injured adult sea turtles, to make sure that they are healthy to mate and produce healthy hatchlings.

Adopt a Patiënt

If you would like to donate (small) amounts on a monthly basis we recommend you to join our Adopt a Patiënt program.

In the course of this program, you can adopt a sea turtle patiënt, which provides us with funds to pay for the treatment of the sick sea turtles and to help us reach our goal to get our own rehabilitation center. Right now the sick Sea Turtles stay at the vet, where we take care of them until they can get back to the sea. This cost us a lot of money and we can only keep a couple of sea turtles there.

 

DONATION

Donations for Individuals and Businesses

We try to keep our costs low, but we need to maintain constant staff, fund the research, cover transportation, equipment, medical and vet expenses, and others. As a non-profit organization, we depend on support from individual donations and sponsors.

You can choose to do monthly donations or s one-time donations. We appreciate any support we can have. All funds go towards the organization of educational, research, or conservation activities. When you become a donor, you will be updated regularly on our progress.
