Adopt a turtle

Every year around 130,000 sea turtles  are caught accidentally in the Mediterranean Sea.  Turtles that take the hooks used in fishing, or are found trapped in nets, are taken to  suitable facilities for treatment.

You can help protect sea turtles by adopting one of our patients from afar.
