When that turtle is released, you will be able to track the turtle online and know that you helped to make him/her healthy enough to go back home! Or, you can adopt a turtle that has already been release, helping to pay for the research we are conducting so we can help sea turtles all over the world!

Adopt Dylan
Adopt Bevelyn the Turtle(Bevelyn is not adoptable anymore because she stopped transmitting a signal on May 29th. It is likely either the unit was dislodged or the battery expired (during nesting, it is constantly sending a signal so the battery can easily be worn out very quickl . . . especially if she nests multiple times)!
