ADOPT AN ISOLATED BEACH Donation $3,000
Many miles of important sea turtle nesting beaches are found along isolated sections of the mainland coast of Belize. The isolated beaches support endangered hawkbill sea turtles. Important beaches includes those at Gales Point, Mullins River, Hopkins, Seine Bight, Northern Placencia Peninsula, Monkey River and Punta Negra. Select which beach you would like to adopt or let us decide which nesting beach should benefit. Your donation will send a team of biologist to the beach to monitor nesting activity and nest success.

ADOPT ALL BEACHES Donation $20,000
It is important that we conduct a nationwide survey to determine if nesting beaches are still active, how many turtles nest, and to identify new nesting sites.  The last survey of this type was completed 30 years ago. A nationwide survey is urgently needed so we can determine changes in nesting beach populations. Your contribution to this important activity will enable members of the Turtle Network to conduct one nationwide survey of all sandy beaches. The resulting data will be used to identify important nesting areas for sea turtles and to ensure their protection in the future.
