Adopt a Sea Turtle Nest

Support our sea turtle conservation efforts in San Pancho by adopting a sea turtle nest! Sea turtles are wild animals. We are unable to predict how many nests will be laid. Therefore adopting a nest is limited and based on how many nests are laid and relocated to our greenhouse nursery.  

Your $75.00 USD symbolic adoption includes:

• A printable personalized adoption certificate (via email)
• A follow-up email  when your nest has hatched, a photo of your personalized sea turtle badge with individual/family/business name, which was attached to your sea turtle nest for the duration of nest incubation (typically 45 days), and nest evaluation data
• Satisfaction of helping to save San Pancho's sea turtles
• We DO NOT let you know when the nest is going to hatch beforehand

Please note:​

• Nursery season begins mid-July, nest adoptions made before then will be placed with their nests on a first-come, first-served basis, at this time, and nest badges will be placed at this time. Nest evaluation data will not be received until the end of August at the earliest (depending on the nest's hatch date). 
• Your printable adoption certificate will be sent, by email, within a week of your order.  The certificates are not automatically generated and do not go out instantly. If you need one sooner for a gift, let us know by calling/texting/WhatsApp

• You may print and give the certificate as a gift at any time. We will email the certificate to the person adopting the nest at the email provided. You may then print it or forward it to the recipient of your choice.
• If you check to dedicate the nest in honor of/in memory of a person or company, that person/company will be the name listed on the adoption certificate.
• Adopting a sea turtle nest is symbolic. Sea turtles are protected animals, and it is unlawful to touch or harass sea turtles, hatchlings, eggs, and their associated nests.
