The Sea Turtle Preservation Society (STPS) is a registered 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization. STPS relies on the donations from the public, its membership, and the efforts of its dedicated volunteers.

Contributions are tax-deductible as allowable by law.

Sea turtles face worldwide threats to their survival. Most of these threats are man-made. You can do your part to help the survival of such magnificent species. By adopting a sea turtle, you will help to support the Sea Turtle Preservation Society's conservation efforts. Your donation will go directly to our many programs to assist sea turtles.

The adoption of a sea turtle is purely symbolic. No individual may actually own a sea turtle. Sea turtles are protected by state, federal and international laws!
