Adopt a turtle hatchling

Every year, the Two Oceans Aquarium Foundation's Turtle Conservation Centre receives dozens of stranded loggerhead turtle hatchlings that have washed ashore along our coastline, in dire need of our support and rehabilitation.

All species of sea turtles are threatened, so rehabilitating every single one of the stranded turtles rescued by members of the public and brought to us for care is critical to their survival. With your support, the team of our Turtle Conservation Centre is able to give most of these rescued hatchlings a second chance at life in the ocean.

We invite you to contribute to the rehabilitation of these precious turtles by co-adopting a hatchling with a donation of R500, getting in touch if you'd like to get involved in a formal capacity as a partner, or in any capacity you are able. This important work is enabled by you.

Loggerhead hatchlings strand along our coast each year, in desperate need of help.
