Sea Turtles Currently up for Adoption!
Cerces- Green Sea Turtle
Meet Cerces, a juvenile green sea turtle who was rescued by the Gulf Specimen team during a severe cold stun event this past January. When frigid waters overwhelmed her system, she washed up on St. George Island—barely clinging to life. Her heart rate had dropped to just 8 beats per minute, and she was given only a 20% chance of survival.
For two long months, Cerces didn’t eat and had to be supported with vitamins and supplements every three days. Thanks to the unwavering dedication of her care team, she’s now gaining weight, regaining strength, and making a remarkable recovery. If her progress continues, this little fighter will soon be ready to return home to the wild.
If you would like to contribute to her care, you can adopt her! Adoption can be completed online and we will email you a certificate. Every donation helps us continue the critical work on these endangered species!
