You can play your part in the Head-Started programme through sponsorship of a released turtle for private individuals or corporations for US$ 1800.
As a sponsor of a head-started turtle you will receive, an update on your turtle’s vital statistics and progress leading up to the release day. You, along with the assistance of our staff, will then have the opportunity to release the turtle into the wild – an experience you will never forget! Each sponsor will also receive a certificate of participation to honour the occasion.
The Green Sea Turtle (Chelonia mydas) can be found throughout the Caribbean and in tropical oceans around the world, often frequenting shallower coastal waters where they primarily feed on turtle grass. Throughout history, sea turtles were a staple source of food for indigenous peoples, sailors and island colonists. Between exploitation for food and habitat loss as more beaches are developed for tourism or mined for sand, numbers of turtles have seriously declined over the years.
Since 1979, the Cayman Turtle Centre has released over 31,000 yearling turtles back into the Caribbean Sea. These “Headstarted” turtles have been recorded as far away as Central and South America and have even returned to lay their eggs on Cayman’s beaches. Your sponsorship is an opportunity to assist and participate in the Centre’s Head-Started programme, supporting the global conservation effort of this endangered species by contributing towards the release of a potential breeding sea turtle.
