The Adopt a Turtle programme was initiated to raise funds to sustain the Matura Turtle Conservation Programme established in June 1998. It is our intention to obtain the necessary information to assist in the management of the turtle nesting population in Trinidad and Tobago.
The objectives of the Adopt a Turtle Programme is to improve Nature Seekers financial capability to provide and sustain the Sea Turtles Research Programme at Matura.
Once you are convinced that this is a project you would like to be involved with, the special attached form must be completed for our records. Later a Certificate of Adoption will be mailed to parents soon after.
At the end of the turtle season, general information will be sent out to parents (of adopted turtles) that can be determined from the data collected.
The cost for adopting a turtle is US$ 35.00. This is an annual fee that will be make for the care, protection and conservation of your turtle.
We highly recommend that school, groups, organization and individuals adopt turtles. Adopting a turtle can be a wedding gift, birthday gift, Mother’s day, Father’s Day gift or a personal gift.
This is a very meaningful way to express friendships.
