FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Correction: On the 1st day of Christmas, my true love gave to me………

FLORIDA, GAINESVILLE, Nov. 20 -/E-Wire/-- The Sea Turtle Survival League suggests a sea turtle adoption as the perfect present for anyone on your gift list. For those with computer access, adopt a satellite transmitter tagged turtle, and follow her travels over the web by visiting www.cccturtle.org. Or, you can choose to adopt and name your own turtle, tagged on the warm sand beaches of the Caribbean by our researchers. Either way, your gift adoption will help support international efforts to protect endangered sea turtles and their habitats.

Sea turtles are among the most vulnerable of the world's animals. All species of sea turtles are in danger of becoming extinct. They begin their lives as hatchlings on sandy shores. On their own from birth, they rely on instinct in their race from the beach and into the sea. Running a gauntlet of threats along the way, as few as 1 out of 1,000 survives long enough to mate and bear their own young. Sea turtles must navigate the world's oceans to get from their feeding grounds back to their nesting beaches where they lay their eggs, sometimes traveling thousands of miles to complete this remarkable cycle. Turtles must also must compete with ever-increasing ocean front development to find suitable nesting sites.

You can help turn the tide in favor of these animals by learning about, caring for, and acting on their behalf. Be an important part of this world-wide effort by adopting a sea turtle as a holiday gift this year!

The Sea Turtle Survival League is the education and outreach program of the nonprofit Caribbean Conservation Corporation, the world's oldest marine turtle research and conservation organization. Founded in 1959 to support the pioneering work of world-renowned naturalist and author, Dr. Archie Carr, the Florida-based organization is dedicated to ensuring the survival of sea turtles through research, education, advocacy and the protection of natural habitats upon which they depend.

To adopt a sea turtle for yourself, a friend, or a loved one, call the Sea Turtle Survival League at [REDACTED-PHONE] or visit their web site at www.cccturtle.org. For a tax-deductible donation of $25, the League will send a personalized color sea turtle adoption certificate, a sea turtle conservation guide, a colorful decal and magnet, and a subscription to CCC's quarterly newsletter, all in a beautiful folder.
