Cold-Stunned Sea Turtles are at Risk of Dying. Fly them to safety.

Ocean temperatures have plummeted in New England, “cold-stunning” Kemp Ridley sea turtles. This form of hypothermia shuts down their organs, paralyzing them in the water. They need urgent medical care and warmer waters to recover.   

On December 3rd, we’re conducting our third transport this season and flying 40 cold-stunned sea turtles from New England to New York and Pennsylvania, where they’ll be treated, rehabilitated, and released. This flight is crucial to ensure we save as many endangered and threatened sea turtles as possible – but we need your help to achieve takeoff.

Thanks to an anonymous donor, your gift will be matched up to $10,000!

Just $50 can fly a turtle 100 miles to safety. You can save a sea turtle—rush your gift now and make twice the impact.
