Name and Adopt a Sea Turtle in Oman
Name and adopt a sea turtle for yourself or as a gift and help us protect sea turtles and their habitats. These sea turtles have been identified though our Sea Turtle Photo-ID Programme, but they still don’t have names. This is a lifetime adoption and you get to name your favourite!
Your Digital Adoption package Includes:
- A personalised digital adoption certificate
- A fact-sheet about the sea turtle species you are adopting
- Email updates whenever your sea turtle is re-sighted*
- Your adopted sea turtle featured on our website
*Please note that these are wild animals, so we cannot guarantee sightings or the frequency of photo identification opportunities
By adopting one of our identified sea turtles, you will help us protect sea turtles and their habitats through rescue & conservation medicine, clinical & scientific research, and education & outreach. Learn more about our work in Oman here.
How to Name and Adopt a Sea Turtle In 3 Easy Steps
- Pick your favourite turtle in the gallery above and make a note of the identification number.
- Decide on a name for your adopted sea turtle.
- Support our mission with a donation of £50 or more. Complete the form below with your details to finalise your adoption. If it’s a gift adoption, also add the details of the gift recipient!

Submit Your Own Sea Turtle Photos
If you find and photograph a sea turtle that is new to our database during a visit to Oman, or one that is yet to be named, you can choose to adopt that sea turtle.
To submit your own sea turtle photos for possible adoption, please email your photos to seaturtleid@oliveridleyproject.org
We need one clear image of each side of the sea turtle’s face. And of course, we also need to know the time and the location of the sighting. Blurry photos cannot be used.
