Adopt a Sea Turtle! Become part of our ongoing sea turtle conservation efforts through our Turtle Adoption Program. This meaningful experience allows guests to symbolically adopt one of the sea turtles that frequent our surrounding reefs. Each adoption directly supports monitoring, protection, and education initiatives dedicated to safeguarding these ancient marine navigators. Adopters receive a handcrafted crocheted turtle, a personalized certificate of adoption, and ongoing updates whenever “their” turtle is spotted by our Marine Biology team. Whether you’re passionate about marine wildlife or looking for a heartfelt keepsake with a lasting impact, this program offers a special connection to the ocean long after your stay. Venue: Muraka Conservation Center Includes: Crocheted turtle, certificate of adoption, ongoing turtle sighting updates

Adopt a Coral, Save a Reef. Play an active role in reef restoration by adopting a coral fragment from our coral nursery. Guests can choose from our common coral species, give it a name, and follow its growth journey as it develops in our protected nursery before being transplanted onto the outer reef. Throughout the coral’s growth, adopters receive periodic photo updates documenting its progress and story, showcasing just how quickly corals can thrive when given the right care. This initiative offers a hands-on, educational way to contribute to reef conservation while creating a personal legacy beneath the waves. Venue: Muraka Conservation Center Includes: Coral species selection, coral naming, photo updates, reef transplantation
