One of these sea turtles named Barnacle Bill suffered man-made injuries to all of his flippers and can never be released. His food bills is around $1000 a year. Help us buy food for Barnacle Bill.

• Sea Turtle Patrol Program for Galveston-Brazoria-Bolivar area. 
 
• Padre Island National Sea Shore to patrol for sea turtles including nesting Kemps ridleys. Eggs that are found at the Sea Shore are incubated before hatchlings are released.
