Grupo Ecológico Launches Adopt a Sea Turtle Nest Program Frank Smith - Grupo Ecológico de la Costa Verde
May 11, 2023

Looking for a way to help our nesting sea turtles but can’t volunteer? We are excited to announce the launch of our Adopt a Sea Turtle Nest program! For $75.00 USD, you can symbolically adopt a San Pancho turtle nest, supporting 31 years of sea turtle conservation. Your generous donation will help us fund the operational and research costs of our greenhouse box nursery, beach patrols, and educational materials for our expanding outreach program.

Included in your nest adoption:

• A printable personalized adoption certificate will be sent to you (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 us save San Pancho's marine turtles
• We WILL NOT let you know when the nest is going to hatch beforehand

Please note: The use of the greenhouse nursery will begin around 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 to you 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 +1 (262) 497-6671 or by emailing MarkJoy.Jessica(at)gmail.com. 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.
