Adopt
a Sea Turtle
As a non-profit
organization, seaturtle.org
relies on a variety of funding sources to remain
viable.
If you are interested in supporting seaturtle.org
and it's mission please visit our
contribution
page.
If
you are getting a new license plate, select the
attractive sea turtle plate featuring a loggerhead
hatchling crawling towards the surf. If it is time
to renew, make the switch to a sea turtle plate for
your vehicle.
The
Sea Turtle License Plate is available in Florida
through your local Tax Collectors Office or County
Tag Agency. Follow the link below for contact and
address information for the offices in your area.
The
Sea Turtle License Plate was first offered for sale
in February 1998 and quickly became one of the most
popular specialty plates in Florida, raising over
$1 million annually. At just $17.50 per tag, the
turtle plate is also one of the least expensive
specialty plates in Florida.
Proceeds
generated by sales of the turtle plate go to the
Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission's
Marine Turtle Protection Program to support
research and management activities related to
Florida's sea turtles. In addition, a portion of
the revenue is distributed to CCC, which then
redistributes the funding through the competitive
Sea Turtle Grant Program to support turtle projects
in the areas of research, education and
conservation that benefit Florida sea
turtles.
