Welcome to Sea Turtle Adoption Program

About Sea Turtle

Sea Turtles are amongst the world longest lived creatures, with many beaching a lifespan of more than 100 years. Graceful swimmers that spend most of their time underwater, they have survived almost unchanged since the Triassic period, some 200 million years ago. However, the breeding habits that have served them so well for so long are now contributing to their extinction.
