With Holiday season in full swing, consider Pre-adopting a Sea Turtle nest on Anna Maria Island for the upcoming nesting season.
What a great Idea for the Holidays. (A sweet gift, you can be sure is the right size and color and they don’t already have.) Get one for yourself too.
After your order goes through you will receive a Certificate of Adoption via email that you may print and give to your recipient as a Christmas gift. (Staff will email certificates right up to and including Christmas Day).
After your nest arrives a handcrafted personalized plaque with your own message will be place at a nest.
When the nest hatches they package up your plaque (plus a bit of sand), your personalized nesting with the data written on the back from your nest success information and a letter of appreciation and mail it to any address you choose.
Your tax deductible donation goes to help us protect the nesting Sea Turtle Moms on Anna Maria Island.
Last year all of the Nests were adopted, so adopt early to be sure we can cover your order for 2020.
What you will receive:
When your nest hatches and the data is collected your adoption package will be mailed out within 30 days. You or your recipient will receive:
The handcrafted wooden plaque from your nest. Data taken in the field by Volunteer Staff, written on the back of the plaque when excavated.
A letter of appreciation from the volunteers working your nesting beaches.
Satisfaction of helping to save sea turtles on Anna Maria Island.
A personalized email adoption Certificate (emailed to you when you fill out the adoption
form).
2019 Adoption Plaques will start being placed on the beach in mid-June on a first come basis.
