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.

To Symbolically Adopt a Turtle as a Gift:

If you would like to purchase a Symbolic Adoption package as a gift, please fill in the order information boxes with the Gift Recipient's information. We will not delay processing packages for birthdays, anniversaries, or other gifts. Here is our suggestion for keeping it a surprise:

Fill in the gift recipient's name in the box that says, "Name on Certificate."
To keep it a surprise, write in your email address in the "Recipient Email Address" box. This will ensure that you receive adoption emails and not the eventual gift recipient.
After you have gifted the adoption, email us at gstceducation@jekyllisland.com to request that we change the email address associated with the adoption to the gift recipient's email address.

About the Green Sea Turtles

Green sea turtles are one of the five sea turtle species found in Georgia. They can reach up to five feet in length, but most of the green sea turtles in Georgia are smaller juveniles. Each of our green sea turtle patients have a unique medical challenge that brought them here. Our vet staff are working hard to help them recover, heal, and hopefully return to the wild.

If you have any questions, contact us via telephone at (912) 635-4141 or email us at gstceducation@jekyllisland.com. Please include "Adopt-a-Sea Turtle" in the subject line.
