  MARY JANE, THE HAWKSBILL SEA TURTLE

Dear Tracey,

Thank you for your recent adoption of a sea turtle through the Turtle Awareness and Protection Studies (TAPS) Turtle Adoption Program. We appreciate your care and concern for the endangered sea turtles of Honduras!

This is just a short notice to let you know that your request has been received and you will be sent an official adoption certification and an e-file of photographs of your adopted turtle in the near future. Please be aware that the photographic file may take some time. The Turtle Adoption Program has been so successful that we are currently waiting for new turtles to become available.

You have automatically been added to the “ProTECTOR News” list.

Again, thank you for caring and welcome to the TAPS family!

Sincerely,

Stephen G. Dunbar, PhD
