Check to Acknowledge

I acknowledge that my adoption is symbolic and I will not receive a live turtle in return for my donation, nor will I be able to handle or feed any turtle patient(s). As an Adoptive Parent, I understand that I will receive an electronic certificate package and monthly email updates that allow me to follow patient care and recovery from afar.

About Jules

Species: Loggerhead Sea Turtle (Caretta caretta)
Age: Post-Hatchling
Sex: Unknown
Arrival: September 23, 2020
Weight: 35 g / 1.2 oz
Found: Huguenot Memorial Park, Jacksonville, Florida
Rescued by: Huguenot Memorial Park Ranger

Why Jules is here:

Jules' early days are somewhat mysterious. We know he/she spent some time at sea after hatching, but strong currents pushed the turtle back to land and it washed ashore on September 23^rd, in Jacksonville, Florida. Jules was brought to our hospital for care, where he/she was treated for dehydration and given antibiotics for possible infections like pneumonia.

If you have any questions, contact us by email at gstceducation@jekyllisland.com. Please include "Adopt-a-Sea Turtle" in the subject line.
