Sponsor a baby turtle for € 30

You will know when your hatchling scrambled out of the nest and headed to the sea. If you sponsor a hatchling, apart from the personal sponsor certificate, you will receive a little cuddlesome turtle and other memorabilia.

Sponsor a mother loggerhead for € 50

ARCHELON works for the protection of sea turtles on the nesting beaches and in the open sea. During the nesting season, ARCHELON monitors the activity of adult female turtles as they come ashore to nest. If you sponsor a mother loggerhead you will also receive the history of the turtle since the first time she was observed nesting.

Sponsor a nest for € 80

A loggerhead nest may contain 120 eggs that incubate in the sand for about two months. Monitoring and protection of nests is vital to ensure safe hatching, especially in human frequented areas. If you sponsor a nest you will also receive the complete history of the nest, including hatching success.

Sponsor an injured turtle for € 150
(This amount will cover treatment costs for a month)

Fishing nets, speedboats and fishing hooks are some of the causes that often injure sea turtles. Many arrive at the ARCHELON Rescue Centre with severe head injuries. After treatment at the Centre, which operates in cooperation with the Municipality of Glyfada, the turtles are released. If you sponsor an injured turtle you will also receive the history of the turtle and will be invited to its release.

Sponsor an Amvrakikos loggerhead for € 50

An on-going research programme, which began in 2004, evolved from the telemetry project. Researchers now catch sea turtles by hand in the shallow waters of the Amvrakikos Bay. The turtles are measured, photographed and tagged and samples are taken for genetic analysis. Adopting one of these study turtles will directly support the continuation of the Amvrakikos project
