Washbacks are baby sea turtles that “wash back” to the beach after fall storms and strong ocean currents push them back to shore. These hatchlings use all of their energy for that first big swim out to the line of sargassum seaweed that is over 50-100 miles offshore and need extra help to survive!
Please help us reach our goal of naming 275 tiny washback turtles by making a gift to the Sea Turtle Hospital at Whitney Lab by October 30. When you make a gift of $25 or more, you will be able to symbolically adopt and name a tiny washback turtle.
When you donate, you will receive a personalized washback adoption certificate within 3 business days of your donation via email. Your turtle support keeps the Sea Turtle Hospital and our turtles going strong!
