This is a way to help save the turtles by supporting programs that make it safer for us to lay our eggs and help clean up the ocean so that we don’t eat bad things or get caught in fishing nets. If you would like to see the turtles and the work of Project Biodiversity for yourself, book a holiday on Sal today, for any time from now until the end of November. You will support undercover investigations at aquariums and other captive facilities to expose exploitation and to free turtles and other animals from cruel captivity. Coastlines are often prime real estate and end up being developed which results in the destruction of nesting beaches and with them any possibility for females to lay their eggs.These phenomena occur in just a handful of places worldwide, including Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Mexico, and India. When you adopt a turtle the package includes a certificate, ID profile and fact sheet, photo and monthly updates on your chosen turtle.

In some cultures, turtles are prized for their meat and some locals will raid turtle nests for eggs which are considered to be a delicacy. The Dolphin Discovery Centre plays an integral part in their well-being and recovery, ultimately rehabilitating them enough to release the turtles back into the warmer waters off Exmouth, WA.

Your adoption will assist People’s Trust for Endangered Species (PTES), a registered animal conservation charity. By going paperless you are helping STC put more funds towards sea turtles instead of paper, printing and postage. On Sal, the team block off an area on the sand, south of Ponta Preta Beach, where they look after the turtle nests 24 hours a day. Often what happens is as they swim up to the surface, they become trapped in fishing gear and end up drowning.Every donation helps save endangered wildlife, protect fragile ecosystems, and build a future where people live in harmony with nature. For us humans, it’s a bit hard to tell one turtle from another so when we rescue them we use a system of coloured fingernail polish markings so that we can track individual health, feeding program and data collection during their time with us. We would recommend this option if you are planning to visit The Deep imminently using the free physical ticket that is included within the pack (in case of any postage delays). The flatback turtle is the least studied of the sea turtles and has one of the smallest geographic ranges.
