How does my donation help sea turtles?
Your gift rescues sea turtles injured by nets and plastic: £20 funds disentanglement and first aid, £30 covers a week in a recovery tank, and £95 pays for a satellite tag so a released turtle can be tracked safely home.
Most rescued turtles arrive tangled in ghost fishing gear. Cleaned wounds, a recovery tank and a satellite-tagged release turn a casualty into data that protects the next turtle. Nobody takes a turtle home; the till is the gift tags on this page.
Who should skip this: Skip this page if you wanted to rehome a sea turtle in the UK — that is the rescue directory, not a gift tag. Skip it if you need Gift Aid: World Animal Rescue Network is a CIC and cannot claim it. Nobody takes this animal home.
Can I take this sea turtle home?
No. These tags fund named care at partner shelters and sanctuaries. The animal stays there. If you want to adopt or foster in the UK, use the rescue directory and follow that organisation’s process. An animal charity gift is not a pet. Compare sponsor vs adopt.
Is a sea turtle gift Gift Aid eligible?
No. Donations are received by World Animal Rescue Network CIC. Community interest companies cannot claim Gift Aid, so you will never see a tick-box here. If Gift Aid is required, give to a registered charity instead. The gifts on this page support care without Gift Aid. See about.

Sea turtle rescue questions
How much does it cost to disentangle and treat a sea turtle?
£20 funds removal of nets or line and first aid for the wounds beneath. See all sea turtle rescue gifts.
Can I give a sea turtle rescue donation as a gift?
Yes. Every donation comes with a personalised e-certificate you can email or print, naming the person you are giving it for — popular for birthdays and gifts in memory. It is a charity gift, not a turtle you take home.
Can I take this sea turtle home?
No. Tags on the sea turtle gift page fund named care at partner shelters and sanctuaries. Recovered turtles are released.
Is a sea turtle gift Gift Aid eligible?
No. Donations are received by World Animal Rescue Network CIC, which cannot claim Gift Aid. The gifts still fund care.
What does satellite tagging a turtle do?
A £95 satellite tag tracks a released turtle’s route and confirms it has recovered fully — and the migration data helps protect feeding grounds for every turtle that follows.
