Adopting a Turtle!  


Adopt-A-Turtles make wonderful gifts for birthdays, anniversaries, Christmas and other special occasions. Adopt one of the selected loggerhead sea turtles that has nested in previous years on Wassaw Island and was last seen during the 2009 and 2010 seasons. Since loggerheads typically have a 2 to 4 year nesting cycle, we expect that these individuals may return to Wassaw to nest during 2012.


During the summer, you can log onto this website and track "your" adopted turtle's nesting activity during the upcoming nesting season!
