Become a Sea Guardian today by adopting a green sea turtle
Green sea turtles are named not for the colour of their shell, but for the greenish colour of their flesh. These gentle ocean wanderers can live for 80 years and weigh up to 318 kilograms, making green turtles among the largest sea turtles in the world.
Like other sea turtles, green turtles undertake lengthy migrations from feeding sites to nesting grounds, normally on sandy beaches. Mating occurs every two to four years, in shallow waters close to the shore. Females often return to the same beach used by their mothers, to lay their eggs.
Adopt Shelly a green sea turtle with a monthly gift of $35 or more and you will receive:
- 12 inch 100% recycled eco-friendly species plushie
- Adoption kit with information card about the species
- Adoption certificate.
