CRP's Adopt-A-Turtle Program is a wonderful gift idea for birthdays, anniversaries, Christmas and other special occasions, and is a fun way to support the program while following turtles that have nested previously on Wassaw!
Each season, we choose turtles that have nested on Wassaw NWR during multiple seasons. Loggerheads typically nest every 2-4-years, so we hope that they will return to Wassaw in 2026. Please note that we cannot guarantee that a turtle will return in any given year. Then, follow the Caretta Research Project on Facebook and Instagram, and check our website at www.carettaresearchproject.org each summer to see if your turtle has come back to nest!
1) Choose one of multiple already-named turtles that weanticipate will be returning to Wassaw this year $50
2) Name-Your-Own Sea Turtle $100
Both options include:
- An Adoption Certificate
- A nesting history for your turtle
- A beautiful Glass sea turtle ornament
A CRP decal to show your turtle support
A 4X6 color photo of a loggerhead sea turtle
