Take action as an organisation

The satellite transmitters attached on the turtles send us important information on location, distance, speed and habitat use, enabling viewers to understand what the turtles are experiencing on their trips.

If your organisation wishes to support the cause, you can sponsor a turtle, thus gaining the right to naming it and tracking its migration pattern.

Cost per turtle for one year (2011) – AED 30,000

The amount covers the cost of a satellite transmitter for one turtle
