Adopt our Turtles

Endangered marine turtles are often washed up on beaches throughout the South West of our state, usually after storms which throw the young turtles out of their journey via the Leeuwin Current. The Dolphin Discovery Centre plays an integral part in their well-being and recovery, ultimately rehabilitating them to release the turtles back into the warmer waters off Exmouth, WA. With our Turtle Rescue & Rehabilitation Program (click here for Adoptions) you can support this conservation effort.

For us humans, it’s a bit hard to tell one turtle from another so when we rescue them we use a system of coloured markings so that we can track individual health, feeding program and data collection during their time with us. This does not harm the turtle at all and wears off after some time.

We care for these turtles at our own cost for 6-9 and would love for you to be involved by participating in our Adoption Program (click here for Adoptions). We have different level of Adoptions available starting from as little as $6.25/month all the way to our Premium Adopt a Turtle Project for Philanthropists or Corporate Involvement.
