Mississippi Aquarium is calling all animal fans and turtle fanatics to become a rehab hero and sponsor one (or more) of the latest Kemp’s ridley cold-stunned turtles!
These turtles become stranded due to a cold-stun event and experience a variety of issues including but not limited to frostbite, GI Tract issues, bone infections, pneumonia and more!
Upon their arrival to Mississippi Aquarium, the dedicated crew at MSAQ works around the clock to ensure these VIT's (Very Important Turtles) receive all the care they need.
Can you believe it costs nearly $500 to rehab one single sea turtle? That’s a lot of green!
You Can Help! Adopt today to sponsor a Turtle!
Join our Shell Squad for just $30 and be a Rehab Hero to your favorite sea turtle.
With your symbolic adoption, you will receive a commemorative certificate of your new turtle “friend” as well as special updates on the Kemp’s ridley rehabilitation and release.
This program is a perfect gift for the animal fan in your life! It would also be great for a classroom or homeschool project in conjunction with a lesson about sea turtles or the ocean.
